SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — As we head into the new week, we've rounded up the stories you may have missed Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday.
But before we jump into Southern California's top stories, wet weather is expected this week, with rain possibly arriving by Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
"Cooler weather will be returning to Southern California, with below-normal temperatures by Tuesday," National Weather Service San Diego forecasters wrote Sunday.
By Tuesday, temperatures will drop into the 70s across most inland areas. Widespread rain is likely Wednesday and Thursday with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Overnight lows will drop too during the week, sinking into the 50s in the downtown Los Angeles and valley areas by Wednesday night.
