June Gloom and Marine Layer

• ☁️ June Gloom is returning to Southern California, bringing cooler temperatures and persistent marine layer clouds.
• 🌡️ Coastal areas like Long Beach are experiencing milder starts to the morning, with temperatures around 60 degrees, 2 degrees cooler than yesterday.

Midweek Rain and Thunderstorm Potential

• 🌍 Weather systems coming from the east are less likely to bring significant coastal rain compared to systems approaching from the north.

Temperature Outlook
