The storm was described as "a very modest system at best with regard to rainfall amounts," with Saturday's rain lasting only a few hours in any one location and expected to arrive in Los Angeles around mid-morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Snow levels will be around 6,000 feet, so no impact is expected Saturday for most of the major mountain roads, including the Grapevine.
Following the rain, gusty west winds will kick up across coastal areas and the Antelope Valley, though likely below advisory levels, the NWS said.

Some additional light showers are expected Sunday as well.
The rain will move on by Monday, with partially cloudy skies and mild weather in store for most of the week before the possible return of more rain on Friday.
