Chance of Thunderstorms Tonight and a Cold Storm Next Week

Fall officially rang in uneventfully last Friday.

However, some dramatic shifts in weather forecast for the next week will make summer seem long gone.

It begins tonight with a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms, according to the National Weather Service. “Unsettled” weather will continue into the weekend with a slight chance of rain through Sunday as moisture from Hurricane Hillary spreads into the region.

In Seal Beach, Rossmoor and Los Alamitos, temperatures will reach the mid 70s throughout the weekend as the slight chance of lightening, thunder and rain persists.

By mid next week, National Weather Service meteorologists expect an unseasonable cool Pacific storm to blow into the area from Northern California, bringing rain and temperatures 20 degrees below normal.
