Cooling trend moves into SoCal Memorial Day weekend

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California is expected to see cooler temperatures and more cloud cover heading into the Memorial Day weekend.

Temperatures are starting to cool thanks to an onshore flow, which also brings marine layer clouds. The cooling trend continues early next week, including on Memorial Day, when more May Gray conditions return.

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

Los Angeles and Orange counties on Saturday will see morning clouds followed by afternoon sunshine, with a high of 74 degrees and a low of 56. Temperatures will continue to drop heading into next week.

The valleys and Inland Empire on Saturday can expect partly sunny skies with a high of 81 degrees and a low of 53. Similar conditions are on tap Sunday before a more significant cooldown next week.

Beaches on Saturday will see cloudy skies in the morning and sunshine later in the evening, with a high of 67 degrees and a low of 56. Expect similar conditions for the next several days.

Mountain communities on Saturday can expect sunshine with a high of 72 degrees and a low of 37.

Desert areas on Saturday will see a high of 86 degrees and a low of 53. Palm Springs is expected to reach 97 degrees.
