Three days ago it was so dry that the very air was brittle and ready for spontaneous combusion. The night time lows were just barely above 40 degrees.

Last night the low was approximately 60 degrees (with a high today around 70) and raining heavily. The rain is warm enough that it feels like you're taking a shower.

By this weekend the temperatures are supposed to rise into the 90's (and the humidity, too, most likely).

Ah, southern California at the turn of the seasons. The only thing to do is to dress like an onion--in layers. Carry an umbrella and sunglasses. And never try to second guess the weather forecaster.
