Looking at a gorgeous day across most of Southern California today under relatively cloud-free skies with light offshore winds and slightly below-normal temperatures. Expect mostly clear skies this evening with west winds to 5 mph as lows tonight cool to the upper 20s and lower 30s. Nice weather will continue into the week with some warming as highs make it back up around 60 degrees through midweek, while overnight lows generally cool to the 30s. Changes will transpire later in the week as forecast ensembles offer up quite the spread of solutions, but all agree on a return of wet weather over the weekend. At this time, clouds and winds are expected to increase on Friday with rain and higher elevation snowfall into the weekend. This appears to be a lower-latitude system, meaning we would experience another decent round of precipitation for all areas, with the snow level mainly above 8,000 feet, possibly dropping towards the end of the storm on Sunday. Preliminary rainfall estimates are in the 0.50"-1.00" range across of of Southern California, with locally 1-3" on the lower coastal slopes. Will fine-tune the forecast throughout the week, so check back for updates!
