An unsettled weather pattern is expected for this weekend as a weather system is set to move through the region. This weather system will lead to increasing precipitation chances this weekend. Rain will develop across SE CA on Saturday and slowly push eastward. Better rain chances arrive in southcentral AZ on Sunday as the low pressure system moves through the region. Rain chances will then decrease by Sunday evening as the system exits the region to the east.
A weather system this weekend will bring increasing rain chances with locally heavy rainfall amounts possible. The heaviest amounts are expected across western portions of Joshua Tree National Park where a Flood Watch has been issued for Saturday morning through Saturday night.
A cold front will move through early Sunday dropping temperatures below normal across the region. A second weather system will move through during the middle of next week, dropping temperatures well below normal.
Model guidance shows the potential for additional weather systems to move through the region next weekend. This is reflected in the latest CPC 6-10 day outlook, which shows 50-60% probabilities for wetter than normal conditions and 40-50% chance of below normal temperatures across much of the Southwest US.
