Good morning and happy almost Friday. Today will be much cooler than Wednesday and we're looking at a chance of light showers tonight and tomorrow. Along the coast we're looking at highs in the low to mid 60s for L.

A., Ventura and Orange county beaches. In Ventura, there's a high surf advisory from 9 p.



m. to noon Saturday. That means large breaking waves up to 7 feet are expected.

Swimmers and surfers should be on the lookout for dangerous rip currents. Inland, we'll seeing highs in the low to mid 70s for the valleys and the Inland Empire, where temperatures won't reach past 76 degrees. Temperatures in the high desert will reach the 60s, and up to the upper 70s for the low desert.

Tonight's overnight lows will drop to the 40s. There's a chance of light showers tonight through Friday night as a cold low pressure system makes its way to the Southland. We're looking at about a quarter inch at most for the mountains and around a tenth of an inch elsewhere.

Come tomorrow, we're looking at a dramatic drop in temperatures, about 10 to 12 degrees below normal. Highs will be in the 50s and 60s and overnight lows will be near freezing in the valleys. Snow levels will drop to around 5,000 feet on Friday and about 3 to 6 inches of snow could fall in the San Bernardino mountains.
