Most areas will see windy conditions, but mountain and coastal communities will see the strongest gusts, according to the National Weather Service.
L.A. county valleys to the Inland Empire can expect daytime temperatures in the upper 50s to the low 60s.
It will be chilly in the mountains with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s in the lower elevations.
Meanwhile in Coachella Valley, expect a high of 70 degrees.
Tonight's lows will drop to the low 40s, even upper 30s for Santa Clarita Valley.
As for the upcoming storm, officials are warning people to stay off the road if you can and reconsider any outdoor plans you might have on Thursday. That's when the peak of this storm is projected to reach Los Angeles.
Officials say we could see anywhere between 1.5 to 3 inches of rain for most areas, brining a moderate risk of flooding in debris flow areas.
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.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
