Los Angeles residents can expect a mostly sunny day today, with temperatures reaching as high as 76 degrees and a gentle northeast wind turning southeast in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. Moving into the evening, the skies will turn partly cloudy, dropping to a mild low of about 51 degrees.
The coming weekend will hold onto the warmth, with Saturday looking particularly sunny and a high nearing 79 degrees. A northeast breeze will pick up slightly, shifting to the southwest later in the day. However, clouds will begin to gather as the weekend progresses, with partly cloudy skies again on Saturday night and lows hovering around 53.
A report from the National Weather Service indicates that Sunday will remain partly sunny with a high near 77 degrees and wind gusts that could reach 15 mph. By Sunday evening, there's a slight chance of rain, setting the stage for the week ahead.
As Alex Biston of CBS News outlined, the warm and dry weekend is a precursor to the fluctuating patterns expected in the coming week. The weather shift is anticipated to start on Monday, with a 40 percent chance of rain and a high temperature scaling back to 72 degrees.
By Tuesday, the likelihood of rain increases, leading up to a rainy conclusion to the week. The temperatures will continue to chill as Tuesday's high hits 69 degrees, with rain becoming more probable by nightfall. This pattern is expected to hold steadily, with rain likely on Wednesday and persisting through Thursday, while the highs remain within the upper 60s.
