Spring showers in the Southland

Dig out those umbrellas! A light rain is falling in Burbank and throughout the Southland this morning. That means a wet commute, so drive with extra care. Scattered showers most of the day, then the system moves out leaving behind partly cloudy skies this evening. Later on today, It will be breezy as well. The high might reach the low 60s in Media City.

And temperatures have dropped down into the 50s. Brrr! I know back East, they would break out the shorts and tee shirts in this kind of […]
