Windy start to the week, warmer conditions ahead

Winds have weakened this afternoon but breezy conditions will remain through tonight. Another round of gusty westerly winds is on the way by the middle of the week.

Here's a look at what wind gusts could look like at 7:00 p.m. tonight:

Heavier cloud cover will remain today due to an area of low pressure that is ushering in cooler air into Southern California. Light rain accumulation is possible for areas west of the valley and Riverside County mountains but conditions are likely to remain dry locally for now. An incoming atmospheric river event increases the chances for local rain and snow by Friday.

Daytime high temperatures will remain in the 60s for the beginning of the work week before a gradual warmup into the 70s by Wednesday. We will rise closer to our seasonal average (77°) by the weekend.
