Good morning and happy Friday! Today will be much colder than Thursday and we're looking at a low chance of showers this morning. Along the coast, expect highs in the lower 60s for L.A.

, Ventura, and Orange county beaches. In Ventura, there's a high surf advisory in effect until 12 p.m.



Saturday. That means large waves up to 7 feet are expected. Inland, we'll see highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.

Temperatures in the high desert will reach the lower 50s, whereas in the low desert it could reach into the low 70s. There's a wind advisory in effect for Los Angeles and Ventura county coasts, including downtown L.A.

, western Antelope Valley, and the 5 Freeway corridor today from noon to 8 p.m. Gusty Santa Ana winds are expected to return to the Southland next week.

The National Weather Service is warning of critical fire weather conditions across valleys and mountains from Tuesday into Thursday. Forecasters say the winds should be weaker and not as widespread as last week’s wind event that escalated the Mountain Fire in Ventura County. While most of the region will see sunny skies today, the San Bernardino and Riverside county mountains are under a winter weather advisory until 10 p.

m. Up to 4 inches of snow are forecasted to hit the ground in Big Bear, Wrightwood, and Running Springs..
