Los Angeles residents can expect a break from the typical Southern California sunshine with a series of cloudy days and potential showers on the horizon, according to weather forecasts. The National Weather Service predicts "areas of dense fog before 10am" today, with skies clearing to a high of 69 degrees and winds shifting from east northeast to south in the afternoon NWS. Tonight, the city should see mostly clear conditions and a comfortable low of 48 degrees.
Over the next ten days, the City of Angels will weave between partly cloudy and mostly cloudy skies, with daytime highs fluctuating in the upper 60s to high 70s and nighttime lows dropping into the high 40s to mid-50s. Notably, the chance for rain will increase as the week progresses, with Weather.com detailing "a slight chance of rain" Sunday and a chance of rain by next Monday, as well as AM showers transitioning to PM showers the following week Weather.com.
The weather pattern shift begins with sunshine and a high near 71 on Wednesday, then maintains a sunny streak through Friday with temperatures peaking at 77 degrees, as per NWS predictions. However, the presence of "mostly cloudy" skies on Friday night sets a precedent for the weekend.
With the holiday season in full swing, the anticipation for a white Christmas seems slim for Angelenos, but cooler temperatures may still bring a festive feel, Weather.com's forecast extends a tad further, showing "PM showers" and "showers" on deck for the following Thursday and Friday, potentially washing away any lingering hopes for a dry December in L.A. The cycle of showers seems to potentially let up by the weekend of December 23rd, but with "AM Showers" followed by "partly cloudy" skies, the city might wedge in some classic Californian weather before another round of "Few Showers" and "Showers" to close out the month.
