Light rainfall headed to Southern California

 A low-pressure system moving south through the Central Coast should reach the Los Angeles area Wednesday evening and is expected to bring light rainfall Thursday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

Rainfall amounts are expected to be light, with less than a quarter of an inch Thursday morning, said Stuart Seto, a weather specialist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.

As the cold front that brought cool temperatures and wind to some areas moves out of the region, warmer weather is expected. Temperatures could reach 69 degrees Friday, 78 degrees Saturday and 80 degrees Sunday in downtown Los Angeles, Seto said.

Gusty offshore winds are expected in the region this weekend, Seto said. The snow coverage on Bear Mountain is “excellent,” with 10 to 14 inches of fresh snow Tuesday afternoon and evening, according to the Big Bear Mountain Resorts website.
