Good morning. It's Friday eve (Thursday) and we're looking at another pleasant weather day before the next storm system moves in.
Quick Facts
- Today’s weather: Sunny, cool
- Beaches: 60s
- Mountain/deserts: 50s-60s/61-73
- Inland: 60s
- Warnings and advisories: None
Today's temperatures will be in the 60s for much of the Southland — an average of 62 degrees for the coast making for a nice walk on the beach and mid 60s for the inland areas and the valleys. Tonight's lows will drop to the 40s.
Rain forecast ahead
The National Weather Service reports that another storm system is coming to the Southland this weekend. Right now, forecast models show rain will come to L.A., Orange County and the Inland Empire Sunday night and that the wettest day will be Monday.
These graphics show the most likely scenario we see with the coming storm. However, due to higher than usual model discrepancies, there is a chance the rain (snow & wind) will be somewhat lower. Chances are HIGH that we will see rain, timing & amounts are lower certainty. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/B4cXc8z5pu

The current rainfall totals are projected to be 2 to 3 inches from Sunday through Wednesday for most of the area.
Projected snow levels right now are in the 7,000-foot elevation range.
Weather forecasters say with the amount of rain we saw last week, significant hydrologic issues — especially in the hills where more mudslides and rockslides — could follow.
This day in history
On this day in 1942, it was 10 degrees in Victorville.
