Showers Will Continue Through Saturday in Los Angeles County

The cold weather system may cause temperatures to drop to 20 degrees below normal, forecasters said.

Watch out for a wet commute Friday morning, as rain showers are expected to douse the Southland into the Veterans' Day weekend.

The cold-weather system is likely to generate snow flurries at the 3,000-foot level and cause temperatures to drop up to 20 degrees below normal, forecasters said.

"A cold upper-level trough of low pressure will affect southwestern California with scattered showers and mountain snow showers Thursday night into Saturday," according to a National Weather Service advisory.

Rainfall amounts are difficult to forecast with precision because of the showery nature of the expected precipitation, according to NWS forecasters, who said they generally expect a quarter-inch of rain or less but that up to a third of an inch is possible.

As a result of the cold front, temperatures will be falling sharply -- "as much as 10 to 20 degrees below normal by Friday," according to an NWS advisory.

Extended Forecast for the Veterans Day Weekend:

Friday: A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 66.

Saturday: A 20 percent chance of showers, mainly before 10am. Partly sunny, with a high near 68.
