The next winter storm is here, but the National Weather Service says we should get under an inch of rain, even with small pockets of heavy downpours.
The big story is that our local mountains will get covered in more snow today. Elevations above 6,000 feet could get up to a foot of snow and lower elevations around 3,000 to 4,000 feet also could see a couple inches of snowfall.
As for temperatures, it's looking pretty chilly out there. Temps at the beaches will range from the mid-50s to around 60 degrees. High surf will continue to hit the coast from Malibu to Orange County until Friday evening, with waves reaching anywhere between 6 to 10 feet high.
L.A. County valleys will see temperatures from 51 to 57 degrees. Meanwhile, in the Inland Empire, it will be cooler, with highs from 48 to 55 degrees.
In Coachella Valley, expect temperatures from 63 to 68 degrees.
