Worth knowing today

Saturday drops to 79 in Los Angeles as the marine layer deepens under a low sliding down the coast, and rain could start reaching LA County by late Saturday at a 50 percent chance overnight.
cooldown · rain
Sunday carries a small thunder risk, around 5 to 10 percent, as the low tangles with Rachel's moisture — too low to headline, but not zero. Rain this time of year is rare here: just 2.4 percent of October 9ths have seen any (records since 1944).
thunder · history
Tuesday's shower odds now sit near 6 percent instead of 32, but the high is still a coin toss between 63 and 85. One camp of runs parks the low right over Southern California, the other swings it inland over the Great Basin.
