Cool, Gray Weekend in Store

Cloudy skies, cooler weather and gusty winds will return to Orange County Friday before another possibly wet weekend.

Light snow is possible above 6,500 feet Friday and Saturday, although National Weather Service forecasters said they don't expect it to stick. Another system could bring more rain and mountain snow Sunday into Monday.

Weather Service meteorologists are unsure whether that cold, low pressure system will make its way into Orange County. Even if the storm stays away, expect a cool, gray weekend, they said.

There's a 30 percent chance of showers in Rancho Santa Margarita beginning Friday night, a 20 percent chance on Saturday, and a 60 percent chance Sunday night. Highs will range from 58 to 62 degrees with nighttime temperatures dipping into the upper 40s.

There is a chance of showers Monday, with mostly clearing by Monday night as fairer, warmer weather in the high 60s take over through Wednesday.

There is a slight chance of showers on Thanksgiving, with an expected high of 67 degrees.
