Quick Facts

Good morning and happy Friday! We're going to see some winter weather temperatures again this weekend as we near Christmas, with a chance of rain Christmas Eve.

We're looking at morning low clouds across the Southland and patchy fog in the morning for the beaches. Highs temperatures for the beaches will be in the mid 60s, up to the low 70s for the inland coast.

No more 80-degree weather for the valleys. Instead, expect highs in the mid to upper 70s.

Highs should be in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees for the high desert, and up to 79 degrees for Coachella Valley.

Tonight's lows will drop to the mid 40s.

Light rainfall is expected to come to the Southland Tuesday afternoon and through the night.
