Thanksgiving Day weather outlook for Southern California

As drizzle and light rain blankets much of Southern California into Tuesday evening, Angelenos can expect dryer weather and warmer temps on Thanksgiving and into the weekend, the National Weather Service reported.  

With the storm winding down, weather officials said rain and drizzle rates were below a tenth of an inch per hour across the L.A. basin and into the mountains, where rainfall amounts were under 0.05 inches.  

While a few showers may linger near the Grapevine tomorrow morning, Wednesday is expected to be dry across L.A. County with a slow warming trend beginning Thanksgiving Day, NWS said.

Highs in the low 70s are forecast as early as Wednesday with an added degree of warming each day through next week.  

Residents in the valleys may see temps rise as high as 80 degrees by Monday.  

Motorists out Tuesday evening are urged to use extra caution on slick roadways and allow additional time for travel.
