LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California can expect mild temperatures on Thursday but the atmospheric river system up north will push some moisture our way by the weekend.

Temperatures will dip by about 10 degrees over the weekend, and some light-to-moderate rain is likely to fall over several days, dropping up to an inch in some communities.

But on Thursday, Los Angeles and Orange counties should see mostly sunny skies with a high of 74 degrees. The rain will start Saturday as temperatures drop to the low 60s.

Valleys and the Inland Empire will see a high of 78 on Thursday. Rain is expected over the weekend, with close to an inch in some foothill communities.

Beach communities will be sunny and cool with a high of 66 on Thursday. Swells will grow to 3-6 feet as part of the bomb cyclone producing hurricane force winds.

Mountains will be cooler with a high of 60, dropping to 25 overnight. The weekend will bring a chance of rain and some snow at elevations over 8,000 feet.

Desert communities will be sunny with a high of 68. The remnants of the atmospheric river will also bring rain to the deserts during the weekend.
