A storm system moved out of Southern California on Friday, but not before dropping 1.5 inches of rain in some areas and creating blustery conditions.
The weather will remain dry over the weekend, with temperatures warming. Another storm system is on the horizon, bringing more rain and snow to the region next week.
Rain totals in L.A. County for the Wednesday and Thursday storms are between a quarter and three-quarters of an inch. Some areas reported up to 1.5 inches, mostly in mountain communities.
Rain began falling in some coastal areas during the Wednesday morning rush hour, with the system then spreading slowly inland. “Steady rain” lingered in the evening hours into much of Los Angeles County, but overall rain totals were relatively low, according to the National Weather Service.
