Your SoCal Weather Report For Thursday, Nov. 23: Cooler Weather On The Way

Here's your Thanksgiving Day forecast!
Temperatures dropped 10 degrees overnight, making today much cooler. Partly cloudy skies will give way to sunny skies in the afternoon for a nice, pre-dinner walk. Coastal valley highs will be in the mid 60s to low 70s.
Meanwhile, the Antelope Valley will experience about 5 degrees of warming because of a lack of cool air from the high deserts.
