Remnants of Tropical Storm Iselle bring scattered showers to SoCal

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California residents can expect a gradual cooldown after a stretch of extreme heat, though lingering moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Iselle could continue to bring isolated showers and thunderstorms through Friday.

Light showers were seen north of Santa Clarita, while mountain communities including Big Bear, Wrightwood and Running Springs also saw some precipitation. The shower activity is expected to diminish by Thursday night, though a slight chance of additional showers remains in the forecast for Friday because of lingering moisture.

An Extreme Heat Warning is in place for much of the region, with triple-digit, near record-breaking heat in the forecast for many areas. The warning expires at 8 p.m. on Friday.

A Red Flag Warning is in place for the foothill and mountain communities due to the intense heat and wind. The warning is set to expire on Friday at 3 p.m.
