    What to expect: Today's weather will bring sunny and clear skies and enjoy it while it lasts because tomorrow the first showers of the week will come.

    If you're someone who prefers sunny weather, then soak it all in because come tomorrow, we're going to see the first of several waves of showers coming to the Southland for the rest of the week.

    Along the coast on Tuesday, temperatures will average in the upper 60s to low 70s and it will be slightly breezy. Orange County coastal areas will also see highs up to 77.

    In downtown Los Angeles, expect a high of 78. The valleys, including inland areas such as Riverside and San Bernardino, will see an average of mid to upper 70s, with the highest temperature up to 79.

    The low desert will see a high of 82, whereas it's still cooler in the high desert, with a high of 69.

    I suggest you prepare to have your umbrella, rain boots and other weather proof gear ready for tomorrow's first major rain event which, as my colleague reports, is the first atmospheric river event of the rainy season.
