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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
