The Weather Will Be Pretty Pleasant This Week (And It Might Rain On Wednesday?)

After last week's minor heatwave, it seems as if that Hot Fall Weather will take a break in the Los Angeles region and this coming week will be pretty pleasant.
According to the National Weather Service, highs this week will be mainly in the high 70s in most areas. The hottest parts of the Basin being inland areas like The Valley generally reaching into the low 80s, though Monday might get as high as the mid 90s. All the way through Saturday, though, it'll plateau around the high 70s for most of the L.A. area. At night, temps can reach as low as the high 50s and will generally be around the mid 60s. Make sure to wear that pullover, like you're bugged out to!
Wednesday morning might actually see the region get some rain (?!), with a 20% chance of showers beginning just after Tuesday midnight. Not much relief for the drought, of course.
