This morning's low clouds, fog and drizzle will lead to a chance of afternoon showers, thanks to a low pressure system bringing cooler weather to the Los Angeles area.
That system is likely to remain in place through Wednesday, with temperatures warming up towards the weekend.
Highs will be in the mid-60s in the L.A. basin today, and around 70 in the coastal valleys. The Riverside area will be sunny with a high in the low 70s.
Farther south near San Diego, folks can expect similar cool weather today and Wednesday, along with strong, gusty winds in the mountains and deserts.
