KEY POINTS
• Strong westerly winds over the mountains and deserts through the weekend.
• Scattered showers across the coastal basin this weekend and light mountain snow in the higher elevations.
• Below average temperatures, periods of elevated winds and additional rain chances mid-next week.

Another round of cooler, breezy weather is on deck for the weekend as the Southland comes under the influence of a weak Pacific weather system. Chances for light showers are reserved for the mountains and the coastal foothills.

Computer models are hinting at another weak area of low pressure forming near the Southland by later on Tuesday or Wednesday and another chance for precipitation. Temperatures will remain on the cool side.
