Below-average temperatures continue in SoCal before Hurricane Marie brings chance of rain

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Rain chances have entered the forecast as Southern California enjoys a much-anticipated break from the heat with below-average temperatures.

The cooler weather is expected to keep temperatures below seasonal norms, and then temperatures will begin to gradually start warming up heading into next week.

Will Hurricane Marie impact Southern California?

Hurricane Marie has formed out in the Pacific and is expected to remain well offshore of Southern California. Still, the storm could send tropical moisture into the region over the weekend, bringing increased humidity and a chance of showers. The rain chances begin Saturday night and increase heading into Labor Day, especially across Los Angeles County.

Many areas will see a potential for 1 to 2 inches of rain.

High surf advisories and coastal flood advisories are scheduled to take effect Saturday for portions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, where high tides and large waves could create minor flooding in vulnerable coastal areas through early next week, according to the National Weather Service.

With potential tropical showers, the beach communities can expect high surf.

Friday's forecast

Los Angeles and Orange counties on Friday will see sunshine with a high of 82 degrees and a low of 62. Showers and humidity enter the forecast by Saturday night.

The valleys and Inland Empire on Friday can expect sunny conditions, with a high of 86 degrees and a low of 60. Rain chances and higher temperatures move in over the weekend.

Beach communities on Friday will see morning clouds followed by afternoon sunshine, with a high of 73 degrees and a low of 67. When rain chances move in over the weekend, the surf could reach 8 to 10 feet.

Mountain communities on Friday will see sunny skies with a high of 73 degrees and a low of 42. Rain and possible thunderstorms arrive this weekend.
