dry spell

The storm will likely move out of the region sometime Friday — kicking off what could be a bit of a dry spell.

But that dry spell looks set to end — and not with a whimper.

Saturday’s rainfall alone breaks a record dry spell for downtown Los Angeles.

The current dry spell comes after the back-to-back wet winters of 2023 and 2024.

After this weekend, a dry spell could return — raising serious questions about whether dangerous fire weather could return sooner than later.
