Southern California might see some light rain tonight into Wednesday morning. After that, slightly cooler weather is on the way, but expect the humidity to remain.
Topline:
Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties could see scattered showers through Wednesday morning due to tropical moisture that's come up from the south. Heavier rain was expected to occur further north.
More heat: Warm ocean temperatures and light offshore winds have been driving the humidity and heat. Temperatures were expected to peak Tuesday, with low 90s in downtown L.A. and high 90s in the valley areas.

Then a cool down: Starting Wednesday, temperatures will likely drop back into the low 80s for downtown and the low 90s for the valleys, as some sea breezes return.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
