Los Angelenos can expect a mild spell ahead with a mix of fog, clouds, and occasional sunshine, according to the latest weather reports. Today, commuters faced patchy fog before the morning cleared to reveal mostly sunny skies, highs touching 65 degrees, and light winds that switched to the west-southwest in the afternoon. As the evening rolls in, the city will see the fog sneak back, the skies cloud over again, with temperatures expected to dip to around 50 degrees.
Looking forward to the weekend, the weather pattern appears set to stubbornly persist. Saturday will start foggy, then shift to become mostly sunny with similar highs around 65, and gentle breezes from the east northeast turning south southwest later. By nightfall, the clouds gather once more, and temperatures will settle at approximately 52 degrees. The National Weather Service anticipates a steady replay with Sunday's conditions barely to deviate, promising mostly cloudy skies and highs nudging just a notch up to 66.
Rain is set to make a brief return to the city at the outset of next week, with forecasters giving a 30 percent chance of rain Sunday night after 10 pm. Monday, observed as Washington's Birthday, increases these odds substantially; rain is likely mainly after the morning with a 60 percent chance forecast. It's a similar story heading into Tuesday and Wednesday with chances of rain scattered throughout the days and partly sunny to cloudy skies when it's not drizzling, carrying highs in the low 60s.
The city should be preparing to grab their umbrellas and raincoats for early next week, as Los Angeles will see a stretch of potentially wet weather according to the forecast. As the National Weather Service reports, Monday and Tuesday nights will play host likely to rain, with overcast conditions stretching all the way through to Wednesday evening. After a bout of rain and clouds, the week is set to close on a brighter note with patchy morning fog giving way to partly sunny conditions and highs inching back up to 66 on Thursday.
