"We’re going to warm up a little bit — not so much today, but tomorrow and certainly into Sunday and next week," FOX 11 meteorologist Maria Quiban said.
Earlier predictions indicated there could be another round of rain for the region. However, forecast models now show the wet weather will stay north of the greater Los Angeles area.
"Look at the rain line stopping at Santa Barbara, so it looks like we’re going to stay pretty dry here for the next seven-plus days," Quiban said.
