There’s a lot to be grateful for this year, including a nice and pleasant Thanksgiving forecast in Southern California.
The state has finally dried out after consecutive storms brought persistent rain and mountain snow over the last three days. San Diego missed out on most of the atmospheric moisture and will remain dry for the next three days.
Mammoth Mountain has received nearly three feet of snow over the last three days, raising their monthly total to 62 inches. This is the snowiest November Mammoth has experienced in 14 years. Big Bear Mountain Resort has only received four inches of snow so far this season, but that is more than it received in November of last year.
Clear and dry conditions are forecast for the rest of Wednesday, with a moderate warming trend beginning for Turkey Day. There is an exception for regions of intense fog reported from La Jolla to Del Mar as of 3 p.m. Wednesday.
This fog may increase throughout the coast and valleys later this evening, but it should clear by Thursday morning as offshore winds emerge.
Temperatures on Thanksgiving afternoon will reach the upper 60s to low 70s along the coast, the low-to-mid 70s in the valleys, the mid-to-upper 50s in the mountains, and the mid-70s in the deserts.
