Driest rain season on record for the southland
(Colorful pre-sunrise over the Mojave Desert)2006-2007 rain season came to an end Saturday over the southland.
This was the driest rain season on record for many locations...including downtown Los Angeles (which only recieved 3.21" of rain)
Records for Downtown L.A. date back to 1877 (a total of 130 rain seasons).
No sign of any rain in the future for the southland (short-term or long term).
As for the pending heat wave for southern California.
A strong off shore flow produced by a large dome of high pressure over the interior west...will likely bring record-breaking heat to inland southern California by Tuesday and likely to continue for much of the remainder of the week.
It is possible... some inland valley locations may break the 110 degree mark on the 4th of July or on Thursday.
The beaches will be warm also... in the upper 70s to the lower 80s for the most part.
Mid-city Los Angeles will likely see mid week daytime temperatures in the upper 80s to the lower 90s.
