Give yourself a pat on the back — we made it to Friday. The skies will dry up by the afternoon ahead of a dry weekend. A chance of more rain is in the forecast next week.
Quick Facts
- Today’s weather: Wet morning, partly cloudy afternoon
- Beaches: Low 60s
- Mountains: 46
- Inland: Low 60s
- Warnings and advisories: Wind advisory
Daytime highs will continue to be on the chillier side — in the low 60s — for coasts, valleys and the high desert. Mountain communities will see highs in the mid 40s again. For Coachella Valley, expect a slight chance of rain before 10 a.m. — otherwise mostly sunny skies with a high of 73 degrees.
Any rain continuing into the afternoon will peak at no more than one-third of an inch per hour. Once this storm system has moved on, the National Weather Service says, we should have received between one-half inch to one inch of rain across coastal areas and valleys and up to two inches in the foothills and mountains.

A couple of mountain peaks will pick up between two and five inches of snow this morning.
A wind advisory will end by noon for the Antelope Valley and foothills, San Gabriel Mountains, Highway 14 and the I-5 corridor. Winds could 35 mph, with gusts up to 50 mph.
Tonight we are looking at partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid-40s.
Look Ahead
Expect a mostly sunny weekend with highs in the mid-60s. Right now it looks like an average daytime high of 65 degrees for Super Bowl Sunday for the valleys and coasts.
