SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> The Southern California Weather Force has issued a weather pattern change in the weather forecast. They are saying a possible raining weather over the next week or two. Which is good news after a month of dryness with little to no rain or snow.
With near record-breaking temperatures across Southern California for the last week of January the weather pattern may change the second week of February.
Will the incoming rain help? Yes, and no. Yes, we need more days of rain light to moderate rain showers. No more days like Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. With heavy downpours will cause flooding and mudslide in the burned scars area.
The week of February 7 through the 13 is a good chance of precipitation. At this time they said it will be wetter than normal.
Now, it doesn’t mean that rain is coming back in the forecast or will be heavy downpours. The weather pattern can change back to dry weather has fast as wet weather came in.
Did you know that the first major rain storm after a dry spell is actually the most dangerous? This is true, with the oil builds up on roadway over time, and without any rain to wash it away, it just kind of sits there. And then once the rain does come, the oil mixes floats on top of the water creating a rainbow-colored sheen. This could cause you to spin you out or cause a crash. This is like hydroplaning but with oil water mix.
Here is a Check List for Raining Weather:
- Check your Wiper Blades and Washer Fluid.
- Check Tire Pressure and look at the Tire Tread.
- Create one or check winter emergency kit.
- Create one or check your snack box.
