A strong and cold system will move into California on Friday, bringing cold air and precipitation with it.

As the trough of low pressure moves into Southern California, onshore flow will strengthen resulting in gusty winds for some (30-40 MPH). The wind is a part of a big cool down that will drop temperatures 20°+ from Friday to Saturday.

Rain and snow is also anticipated for parts of the Southland, including San Bernardino and Riverside county mountains through the weekend.
