The first storm of the spring season arrived in the Southland Saturday, bringing a couple hours of light to moderate rain and snow to the area.
National Weather Service forecasters described the storm as "a very modest system at best with regard to rainfall amounts." However, the storm picked up more moisture than anticipated as it moved over the ocean.
"Scattered showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms through Sunday, with potential for brief heavy downpours, gusty winds, and small hail," the NWS' Los Angeles office posted at 4:48 p.m. on X. "In addition, there will be gusty W-NW winds 30-50 mph, strongest across coasts, mountains, and deserts."
Gusty west to northwest winds were expected as well, reaching 20 to 30 mph in the mountains and the Antelope Valley and 15 to 25 mph in other valley areas.
