Weather Forecast for Friday, Feb. 28
The latest forecast and air quality conditions for the greater Los Angeles area, including beaches, valleys and desert regions.
LOS ANGELES - Those planning to hit the red carpet in Hollywood for Oscar Sunday should also plan to bring an umbrella.
After a few days of a winter heat wave that brought summer-like temperatures, Southern California will see a shift going into the weekend.
"On the last day of February, we’re going to bring down those temperatures and instead of record highs, it’s going to be nice, comfortable and mild," said FOX 11 Meteorologist Soumada Khan.
"Temperature readings for the coast about mid-60s and just only 70s today [in LA], and breezy across our mountain communities later this afternoon," she added.
Khan continued to explain that the first of a series of storm will move into the region Friday night.
"Tonight, some areas may pick up a pocket of light showers and an off chance of maybe even an isolated thunderstorm due to an approaching storm system," she said.

"Your Monday morning commute we predict will be impacted by some light rain," Khan said.

- Coasts and Valleys: .10"-0.30"
