The foggy mornings and cloudy skies typical of a Los Angeles spring are upon us yet again, locals can expect the mists to clear by midday according to the latest forecasts. In a city where sunshine is the currency of the vibe, a break from the gray with skies gradually becoming mostly sunny today, sporting a comfortable high near 68; light breezes will pick up, shifting from calm to a subtle southwest flow around 5 mph in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

As the evening draws down the curtain on the daylight, tonight's script looks familiar—patchy fog emerging after 11 pm, keeping the city enshrouded until the early hours the cloud cover then mostly cloudy conditions persist, and despite a mild southwest wind that flips southeast after the witching hour, temperatures will cradle at a low around 54 degrees. The weekend kicks off on a déjà vu note with projections of more patchy fog before 11 am on Saturday but rewards LA's patience with gradual sunshine and a slightly warmer caress, peaking near 71 degrees, the light southwest wind will surrender to stillness come morning.

The pattern holds true into Sunday's forecast, painting early fog before blooming into mostly sunny skies, and an uplifting high tipping the scales near 80 degrees; a northeast breeze picks up momentum, swinging southwest and could hit spirited gusts of up to 15 mph, as reported by the National Weather Service. Sunday night's calm clears the stage for stars, paired with a milder low around 57.

Setting sights on the new week, Monday's outlook holds onto the morning fog motif before transitioning into partly sunny skies with a high near 76—come evening, the city once more wraps itself in the fog after 11pm, forecasters expect clouds to gather and to hold the temperature steady, hovering around 57 degrees. The subsequent days maintain the tempo; Tuesday's early fog burns off to partly sunny highs around 69, while nights are mostly cloudy with lows dipping close to 52, the foggy sequence continues through midweek, with Wednesday revealing breaks of sunlight amid a partly sunny sky and a high near 67.
