The cold storm that brought the much-needed rain and snow to Southern California is crawling to the east. Wrap-around moisture will continue to bring the chance of a few showers through Wednesday, with the best chance near the mountains.
The cool weather sticks around for a few more days, with temperatures topping out 5 to 12 degrees below average through Thursday with a mix of sun and clouds. Snow levels will hover between 4,500' and 5,000' through Wednesday morning, which means any additional precipitation will mostly be rain for Julian, while the higher peaks may pick up a light dusting.

Things dry out Thursday with gradual warming into the weekend. Temperatures will trend warmer than normal by Saturday, becoming even warmer Sunday, Groundhog Day, and Monday. Expect mid-60s to low-70s at the coast, low to upper-70s inland, 60s in the mountains, and 80s in the deserts.
