Today’s forecast paints a mostly sunny picture, with temperatures expected to climb to a comfortable 65 degrees, as reported by weather.gov. However, the evening is shaping up to be mostly cloudy, with the thermometer dipping down to around 51 degrees.

The sun’s reign is forecasted to be short-lived though, as clouds are scheduled to take over Los Angeles by Friday. The daytime will witness mostly cloudy skies, with a high again perching at the mid-60s mark. As nighttime unfurls its curtain, there’s a 30 percent risk of rain after 10 p.m., though any precipitation is likely to be less than a tenth of an inch.

For those planning weekend getaways or outdoor activities, reconsiderations might be in order – the forecast for Saturday predicts a 50 percent chance of rain during the day. The clouds are not going anywhere anytime soon, with expected highs hovering at the low 60s, and the city looking at potential rainfall amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, according to the forecast.

Sunday's forecast suggests rain could give way temporarily, only to return with likely showers post 10 a.m., and a similarly cloudy evening with increased showers after 10 p.m. This intermittent dance between rain and respite is set to continue into Monday, with showers expected throughout the day, but chances wane by night, hinting at a mostly cloudy evening with a low settling around 51.

But all is not lost for those craving the sun's embrace. Weather reports predict a break from the clouds by Tuesday, with the city expected to bask under mostly sunny skies and highs reaching into the mid-60s. This sunny spell seems poised to linger into Wednesday, further warming the city to a pleasant 67 degrees, and giving residents a much-needed reprieve from the damp and gloomy days preceding it.
