Cooler weather is on the way this weekend, and so are Santa Ana winds

News, Cooler weather is on the way this weekend, and so are Santa Ana winds : detailed suggestions and opinions about Cooler weather is on the way this weekend, and so are Santa Ana winds .

After a brief spell of hot weather this week, temperatures in Southern California are expected to decrease this weekend and should stay that way for the next seven to 10 days, forecasters said.

Saturday may be the coolest day of the period, with temperatures in the 60s as clouds blanket much of Los Angeles County, possibly bringing light drizzle in the morning. Sunny skies are expected to return Sunday, with temperatures ranging from the high 60s to the low 70s.

“It’s probably what most people traditionally think of as fall weather,” said Ryan Kittell, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard.

But as fall weather in Southern California goes, Kittell reminded that tradition here means dry Santa Ana winds, which are expected to blow in on Sunday evening and into Monday, sapping moisture from the air and elevating fire risk in the valley and mountain areas.
