A weak storm will push into the Southland tomorrow, dropping temperatures and carrying a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before giving way to warmer weather by the weekend.

According to the National Weather Service, the gusty winds that battered
parts of the Southland Monday and lingered in mountain areas this morning
have largely died down. An upper-level low-pressure system will move into the
area Wednesday, but it will have “limited moisture” and only a slight chance
of precipitation, bringing primarily partly cloudy skies for most of the area.

Mountain and inland areas have the best chance to see some moisture
Wednesday night into Thursday, including a chance of thunderstorms that could
drift into the valleys, according to the NWS.

“Brief heavy rain and small hail will again be possible, but very
isolated,” according to the NWS. “Many areas will likely see nothing or just
sprinkles from decaying storms off the (mountains). A pretty strong onshore
push (is) expected again Wednesday afternoon and there could be some wind gusts
into the low 30s for coastal areas, and possibly some advisory-level west-to-
northwest winds in the mountains and Antelope Valley late Wednesday afternoon
into Thursday morning.”

Temperatures will dip as the system moves through, with downtown Los
Angeles and Long Beach expected to top out at 71 on Wednesday, while it’ll
reach 67 at Los Angeles International Airport, the mid- to upper-60s across
much of Orange County and the low- to mid-70s in the valleys.

The temperature will be a few degrees cooler across the board on
Thursday, then rebound by Friday and continue to increase through the weekend,
according to the Weather Service.
