SoCal to see cloudy skies as May gray conditions linger

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Thick marine layer clouds have brought a significant cooldown to Southern California.

The valleys and Inland Empire on Wednesday can expect cloudy skies with a high of 76 degrees and a low of 54. Temperatures will bump back up to the 80s by Thursday.
