Southern California skies will be filled with clouds and pockets of sunshine today before rain moves into the region this weekend.
Temperatures at the beaches are going to stick around the upper 60s, up to around 70 degrees in Long Beach.
In the valleys, we're looking at high temperatures in the mid-70s, up to 78 degrees over in the Inland Empire.
Meanwhile, warm weather will embrace festival-goers for the first day of Coachella. Temperatures there are expected to reach 87 to 92 degrees.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the rain starts coming in late Friday night. SoCal could get between a half-inch to an inch of rain tonight through Sunday. There will be some brief pockets of sunshine in between showers and there's a 15% to 30% chance of thunderstorms — that means look out for short, heavy downpours.
It's possible the mountains could get up to 6 inches of snow at elevations 6,000 feet or higher.
