Tonight, the Southwest will experience some notable low temperatures as the cooler air moves in. Flagstaff drops down to a chilly 33 degrees, while Ely will see lows around 37. Las Vegas expects another relatively mild night with a low of 63 degrees. In Southern California, Los Angeles and San Diego will remain moderate, both settling at 56 degrees.

A weather pattern change is anticipated for the Southwest tomorrow, starting with clear and sunny conditions over the desert areas. However, coastal regions like Southern California will experience a dose of showers intensifying by the evening, potentially leading to slick and hazardous driving conditions over mountain passes. Northern California is set to encounter rounds of valley rainfall through Wednesday, increasing the risk of localized flooding. In the higher elevations, overnight temperatures may drop enough to support a light dusting of snow. Plan accordingly for these varying conditions across the region.
