A low-pressure system dropping in from the north is expected to bring showers and a chance of thunderstorms mainly from Wednesday night, Oct. 21, through Thursday afternoon, Oct. 22. Rain totals are expected to be lighter the farther south you go. Thursday should be the coolest day, with highs in the 60s to around 70 near the coast and in the valleys and in the 40s and 50s in the mountains, according to the weather service. NBC 7 and 10News also forecast a midweek storm late last week.
