After the tempered climate during most of the week, thunderstorms and cold weather could go to southern California over the weekend, according to the National Meteorological Service.

A low pressure system that moved on Thursday is expected to continue moving towards the East to Arizona, which could result in instability over the region and run the risk of showers and storms to the mountains, according to the weather service.

Sudden floods and debris flows are possible, even in burning barrels in the interior mountains, the agency said.

Another low pressure system is expected to move through the area on Saturday, which could quickly deepen the sea layer. The coastal areas can see light or light drizzle, especially on Saturdays in the morning and Sunday. The possibilities of precipitation are higher for Los Angeles and Ventura counties, with accumulations planned to be very light and less than a tenth inch.

In the mountain and interior areas, the showers could occur around 5,500 feet of elevation for Sunday, but the rain and snow are expected to be relatively light, said the weather service. Some mountain areas could see up to 0.50 inches of rain and 2 to 5 inches of snow.

Wind bursts of 25 to 45 mph could occur in coastal areas, with the strongest conditions on the central coast and the southwest of Santa Barbara. The interior valleys, the mountains and the deserts could see wind bursts of up to 35 mph.

For Sunday, temperatures are expected to join the range of 60 to 70 degrees, which is approximately 10 degrees below normal.

A higher level channel will guarantee that California see the coldest temperatures as well as at least in mid -May, according to Scott Handel, an forecast at the Federal Center for Climate Prediction.

“The flow is cut from the main track of the storm, so we are seeing this child of the unstable climate that reaches more deeply in California than usual for May,” Trade Toleler
