After weeks of warm and muggy weather in SoCal, rain is coming, followed by a cool down

Gray clouds dominate the sky, with the sun's rays breaking through. A palm tree and other foliage are seen in silhouette.
Tropical moisture has been finding its way to Southern California lately, leading to humid, cloudy days.

Rain is coming, followed by a cool down
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.
