Forecast highs for Wednesday.
(

)
Good morning SoCal and happy Wednesday. Bask in the sun while you can, another storm system is moving in starting tomorrow which will drop temperatures into the low 60s.
Quick Facts
- Today’s weather: Warm, partly cloudy
- Beaches: 66, increasingly cloudy
- Mountains/deserts: 50s-60s/66-79
- Inland: low 70s
- Warnings and advisories: None
Along the coast, average temperatures will reach 66 degrees and it will become increasingly cloudy, so bring a jacket if you plan on heading to the beach. In downtown Los Angeles, expect a high of 70 degrees.
The valleys and inland areas will see highs in the low 70s, including inland Orange County. The high desert will be a couple of degrees cooler with highs in the mid 60s but over in the low desert, Coachella Valley will reach 79 degrees.
Tonight's lows will drop to the upper 40s for the valleys, down to 54 degrees in Norwalk.
Upcoming storm forecast
The National Weather Service forecasts light showers to come to the southland Friday night into Saturday morning. The good news is that this system won't bring as much precipitation as the previous storms, meaning we'll see light scattered showers all day Saturday and by Sunday afternoon the storm should be moving out.
All eyes are on the Sierra Nevada right now as it's projected that the storm will bring much snow to the region. This will be a much cooler system with daytime highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, so make sure to bundle up. Snow levels will reach 6,000 feet Saturday and drop to 4,000 feet Sunday.
