SoCal to see cool, cloudy Memorial Day holiday

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California is expected to see a somewhat cloudy, May Gray Memorial Day, with chances of drizzle arriving by Tuesday.

Temperatures have cooled thanks to an onshore flow, which also brings marine layer clouds. The cooling trend continues on Memorial Day, when more May Gray conditions return.

The marine layer is expected to deepen heading into the workweek, with very thick cloud cover on tap.

A low-pressure system will move into the region Tuesday through Thursday, dropping temperatures about five to 10 degrees below average.

With those May Gray conditions comes a chance for drizzle in some areas on Tuesday morning.

Temperatures will begin to rebound by Friday as the low-pressure system moves out.

Los Angeles and Orange counties on Monday will see cloudy skies with a high of 71 degrees and a low of 56. Temperatures will drop to the upper-60s as the cooldown moves in Tuesday through Thursday.

The valleys and Inland Empire on Monday can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of 79 degrees and a low of 50. Temperatures will cool to the low-70s by Tuesday through Thursday.

Beaches on Monday will see cloudy skies and a chance of drizzle in the evening, with a high of 68 degrees and a low of 53. Expect similar conditions for the next few days.

Mountain communities on Monday can expect sunny and breezy conditions, with a high of 69 degrees and a low of 37.

Desert areas on Monday will see a high of 85 degrees and a low of 55. Palm Springs is expected to reach 93 degrees.
