May Gray conditions bring cool temps to SoCal

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California will see May Gray conditions the next few days, with a chance of drizzle and light showers in some areas.

Temperatures are cool thanks to an onshore flow, which also brings marine layer clouds.

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

With those May Gray conditions comes a chance for drizzle in some areas. Light rain is possible on Wednesday and Thursday.

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

The valleys and Inland Empire on Wednesday can expect clouds and a chance of drizzle with a high of 66 degrees and a low of 54. Light showers are possible on Thursday.

Beaches on Wednesday will see cloudy skies with a high of 64 degrees and a low of 56. The sun is expected to peak through the clouds again by Thursday.
