Angelenos may breathe a slight sigh of relief as the weather, unpredictable as ever, promises a mixture of clouds and sun over the next few days. According to a detailed forecast published by the National Weather Service, an increase in cloud cover is expected today with temperatures hovering around a comfortable 71 degrees. The light wind that's been hanging around the city will give way to a west-southwest flow at 5 to 10 mph as the day progresses.
Tonight, the city can expect a different vibe as patchy drizzle starts to set in post-10 pm, accompanied by fog that paints the streets in silent hazes. The low temperature should drop to the lower 50s, keeping the overnight atmosphere cool and moist under the cloudy sky. The south-southwest wind will stand down to an east-southeast gentle whisper by evening.
Thursday morning looks to stay in bed with the drizzle and fog planning to linger before they fade, giving way to much-awaited sunshine by afternoon. The mercury is set to rise near 66 degrees, with the southeast doing its temperate dance before it switches direction to the southwest once again.
Nightfall on Thursday retains the cloud cover, not yet ready to part from the L.A. skyline, as lows dip to around 51 degrees and the south wind softly murmurs throughout the city. Friday brings with it a teasing 20 percent chance of rain past the morning, allowing for a break in the gloom with stretches of partly sunny skies, albeit with a cooler high near 62 degrees and the possibility of brisker wind gusts.
The weekend weather treads on the unpredictable side as rainfall chances increase to 50 percent both Friday night and Saturday. Despite the mostly cloudy skies, temperatures will stay on the cooler side, hovering near 60 for daytime highs and dropping to the high 40s by Saturday night. As published by the National Weather Service, Sunday ushers in sunnier days with clear skies extending into the start of the next week, promising a steady rise in daytime temperatures reaching into the mid-60s, with nighttime lows settling comfortably in the mid-40s.
