Southern California residents can expect a dynamic week of weather, starting with high clouds and areas of patchy fog tonight into Monday morning. Fog is most likely within 10 miles of the coast but isn’t expected to be widespread. Temperatures will remain near average along the coast and slightly above average inland through Tuesday.
Breezy and wet conditions arrive Tuesday afternoon as a fast-moving system brings gusts of 45-55 mph, particularly in mountain passes and deserts. Rainfall totals will range from 0.05-0.15 inches in valleys and coasts to 0.40 inches on mountain slopes, with light snow above 7,000 feet.
Wednesday brings cooler temperatures before a warming trend begins Thursday. Dry conditions are forecast into next weekend.
