Dry conditions for the next few days before big changes as powerful storm from up north moves in

Two people embrace on the edge of a dirt road with the Los Angeles skyline in the background and dramatic clouds overhead mixed with sunlight, turning the sky a hazy yellowish gray.
Dry air and warmer weather ahead of wet weather this weekend.

About the storm up north

Come this weekend, we're going to see some big changes in the weather as a monster storm from the Pacific Northwest makes its way south.

That means colder temperatures and periods of steady rainfall Saturday through Tuesday.

Temperatures are expected to drop to the mid 50s and low 60s and  we'll see between half an-inch to an inch of rain from the coasts to the valleys.

Any snow that comes out of this storm will fall at levels above 8,000 feet.
