Cool, Breezy Weather Expected On Friday
LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) - It may not have snowed, but California kept it cooler on Christmas this year after a cold front swept in overnight bringing gusty winds that showered streets with palm fronds and other debris.
High pressure pushing over the coast brought mainly fair skies and near-normal temperatures today. Breezy north winds will be felt in most Northern California as high pressure pushes inland, dropping valley temperatures into the 30's on Friday morning.

In Southern California, temperatures dropped up to 15 degrees Wednesday night with winds gusts from the north blowing over 60 mph in Los Angeles County's mountains and 40 mph in the valleys and coastal areas, according to Scott Sukup with the National Weather Service. Another wind advisory is expected as winds transition to the typically warmer Santa Anas Friday night into Saturday morning.
Surfers lucked out with a high surf advisory for west-facing beaches that brought up to 7-foot waves through the early evening.
