A weak low-pressure system is expected to move through Southern California starting Saturday, bringing thunderstorms, winds and isolated showers to the region, according to the National Weather Service.

Shower and thunderstorms are possible anytime through Wednesday, with Tue afternoon through Wed afternoon having the highest chances.

On Thursday, thunderstorms rolled through the region, dropping inches of rain across the Angeles National Forest.
