The city of Los Angeles is looking at a mixed bag of weather conditions this week, with occasional showers set to make an appearance amidst predominantly sunny skies. As residents gear up for a week with a varied climate, the National Weather Service has forecasted a 30 percent chance of rain after 10 a.m. today. With cloud cover overhead, the temperature is expected to hit a high near 64 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the extended forecast.

As the evening rolls in, chances of precipitation climb slightly to a 40 percent likelihood before tapering off at around 10 p.m. The skies will remain mostly cloudy even as the showers subside, and the mercury is expected to dip to around 53 degrees. Residents can expect, the wind to maintain a mellow pace from the west at around 5 mph, with only minor precipitation accumulation possible.

The outlook improves come Tuesday with the forecast predicting a turn towards mostly sunny conditions and a comfortable high of 67 degrees. The favorable weather is set to continue into Wednesday, with an anticipated surge in temperature up to a pleasant 72 degrees under sunny skies. Meanwhile, the wind, holding steady from the north-northeast at about 5 mph will switch to a southwestern flow in the afternoon.

Evenings for the first half of the week appear to maintain a consistency with Tuesday night expected to be mostly clear with a low of around 51 degrees. Similarly, Wednesday night follows suit, boasting mostly clear skies with an overnight low once again, around the 51-degree mark. The city should enjoy these relatively stable conditions until Friday when there's a slight chance of showers in the latter part of the day.

A more considerable chance of precipitation arrives with the weekend, commencing Friday night and lingering into Saturday. Timing for these showers seems to favor the nighttime, with mostly cloudy conditions during the day. Temperature highs over the weekend are projected to stay in the upper 50s, while nighttime lows could drop to the mid-40s. Sunday promises some relief, offering a slight chance of showers but also the prospect of mostly sunny weather with a high nearing 59 degrees.
