Print Many Angelenos opened umbrellas Wednesday morning after thunderstorms brought heavy rain and lightning to the region. Though L.A. experienced briefly heavy midmorning showers, the storm was expected to be “pretty inconsequential,” said Mike Wofford, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Oxnard. The weather service said between one-tenth and one-quarter of an inch of rain would fall in most of L.A. through the evening. By noon, downtown Los Angeles, Culver City and Bel Air got less than 0.15 inches of rain. Advertisement Much of northern L.A. County was not expected to see any rain, Wofford said.
