Showers Linger Into Morning Rush Hour

LAX has recorded 1.18 inches of rain since Wednesday. Dry weather is in store for the rest of the week.

Light rain doused the Southland Monday, creating perilous road conditions for the sixth consecutive day, but a spell of dry weather is about to start.

The rain is expected to end mid-morning after ensuring yet another wet commute, said National Weather Service meteorologist Kathy Hoxsie.

There is a slight chance of some measurable precipitation north of Los Angeles on Thursday, she said, but no real rain is in the region's immediate future after this morning.

The last several days of wet weather have resulted from a Pacific storm that produced four distinct bands of precipitation, the last of which will be moving east today, Hoxsie said.

Since Wednesday, downtown L.A. has had just under an inch of rain, LAX
1.18 inch, Mount Wilson .66 of an inch but Opids Camp, another Los Angeles County mountain locale, 2.87 inches, she said.
