After months of cold and rain, a brief wave of heat is coming to Southern California. Forecasters say the L.A. area will have highs in the 80s Wednesday and possibly the low 90s on Thursday.

Valleys in Ventura and Los Angeles counties will register the warmest temperatures before the region begins a cool-down Friday that is expected to continue through the weekend, the National Weather Service said.

The agency predicts powerful north winds will blow across much of the region over the weekend. Passes and canyons in the Santa Clarita Valley could see gusts of 20 to 30 mph.

Warmer weather was already taking hold on Tuesday, when temperatures hit 81 Chatsworth and 80 in Ojai. Downtown Los Angeles topped out at 71 degrees, according to the Weather Service.
