Southland weather: Scattered showers will clear by Saturday afternoon

Scattered showers to clear

Spotty showers and thunderstorms along the west side of Los Angeles and Long Beach that popped up Friday evening are expected to last through Saturday morning, the National Weather Service said.

The relatively heavy moisture is a remnant of tropical storm Hilary off Mexico's west coast and will be accompanied by relatively warm temperatures: 70s at the beaches and low 80s inland, weather service spokesman Bill Hoffer said. 

Rain also fell in La Crescenta, Hesperia, Hemet and Palm Springs, Hoffer said.

The first cold storm of the season is expected to arrive from the Gulf of Alaska on Wednesday afternoon, bringing a 40% chance of rain and cooler daytime temperatures of the 60s to low 70s, and into the 50s overnight.

The chance of rain drops to 20% by Thursday night, and should give way to partly cloudy skies by Friday.
