Good morning and happy Monday! Today's weather forecast includes mostly sunny skies and temperatures on the cooler end, reminiscent of a nice early spring kind of day.

Quick Facts

  • Today’s weather: Mostly sunny
  • Beaches: 63
  • Mountains: 40s in San Gabriel, Riverside, San Bernardino and Santa Ana mountains, 60s in Santa Monica mountains.
  • Inland: mid 60s
  • Warnings and advisories: Beach Hazards (expires at 9 am)

Temperatures along the coast will be in the lower 60s, averaging out to 63 degrees. More inland including the valleys, temperatures will rise slightly to the mid 60s, up to 65 degrees in Anaheim but down back to 63 degrees for the Inland Empire.

In the high desert, expect a high of 59 degrees, 72 degrees in Coachella Valley.

Tonight's lows will be in upper 40s. Taking a look ahead, there's a chance of light to moderate rain and mountain snow tomorrow night and Wednesday as another storm system moves in. That's followed by a warmup by the end of the week.

Over in the beaches, beware of strong rip currents and large breaking waves up to 7 feet tall for west facing beaches along the Ventura and L.A. county beaches, including the Malibu coast, until 9 a.m.
