The Santa Clarita Valley has a 90 percent chance of rain Friday, according to the National Weather Service forecast, bringing much needed rain south of the Grapevine.

The Santa Clarita Valley could receive up to two inches of rainfall, said Stuart Seto, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

“The mountainous areas are expected to see the highest amount of rainfall,” said Seto. “At times there can be heavy rainfall, with (up to) half an inch falling in an hour.”

There is a slight chance to spotlight showers late Thursday evening, he said. However, the brunt of the storm is predicted to arrive in Los Angeles County Friday morning. There is also a chance for showers Saturday if the storm system lingers.

“Through Sunday, temperatures will be below normal, with the highs around 60 degrees and the nighttime lows in the 40s,” said Seto. “And winds will be gusty, with gusts up to 25 mph.”

The upcoming storm is expected to bring snow around the 5,000-foot elevation, level but is not expected to affect the Grapevine, he said.
