only for an inch of snow but it's turned into ice, and it's a mess. you have low pressure moving across the rockies and that cold front is going to impact us early on friday. this is not going be a severe weather event. there will be showers and thundershowers early on friday and a few of them could be legally heavy. tonight, not too bad in the 40's and 50's and tomorrow we'll see highs in the low 70's. as i mentioned it's all about the approach of this cold front. tomorrow, we are okay under partly cloudy skies and then later on tomorrow night and early on friday, the frontal boundary going by and i think by friday evening, the rain is done. cold-air clouds coming in off of the gulf with wind and not a great day, even on sunday it should be fairly chilly. our forecast goes like this. for tonight, a few high clouds and not as cold and we are down to 49.

milder with a high up to 71. there is going to be a period of showers and thunderstorms on friday and a few could be heavy. we'll watch for severe weather. looks like most of the energy should stay north of us but kind of close and on saturday, all kinds of winds from the northwest, and high surf and hire temperatures holding in the 40's and 50's during the kay and day and the chill stays around and so never a dull moment. >> we need you to keep an eye on things for us. and coming up a protest in hollywood is starting to pick up steam.
