- Beaches: low 60s
- Mountains: 40s - 50s

In today's forecast, temperatures have dropped a couple of degrees as a storm from the Gulf of Alaska has moved in. Highs will be in the low to mid 60s from the coast to inland areas, and up to 73 degrees in Coachella Valley.
You can expect rain later this morning and a chance of thunderstorms in the evening, up to half an inch across the coasts, valleys and mountains.
As for that mountain snow, the San Gabriel Mountains could see up to 8 inches of snow at elevations above 6,500 feet and in the San Bernardino mountains expect no more than 5 inches above 6,500 feet. A couple of inches will dust the lower elevations, which could make driving difficult through the mountain passes including highways 2, 18 and 38.
Come tomorrow, it will be mostly sunny and windy in the evening.
