Los Angeles residents may want to keep their umbrellas close at hand, with a slight chance of rain in the forecast today. According to the National Weather Service, there's a 20 percent chance of precipitation after 11:00 a.m. in the City of Angels, but the day will remain mostly sunny with a high near a pleasant 70 degrees. A brisk northerly wind is set to shift south southeast toward the morning, maybe hitting gusts of 15 mph.
The evening hours offer a similar 20 percent chance of rain before it clears up around 11:00 p.m., as reported by the National Weather Service. The night sky will be partly cloudy, and temperatures are expected to dip to a low around 51, with the southwest wind shifting to east northeast after the stars come out.
Looking toward the weekend, Saturday promises abundant sunshine with a high just shy of 70 degrees. Winds are set to be calm, starting from the east northeast at about 5 mph before taking a turn to the southwest in the afternoon. Similar, yet slightly cooler conditions continue into Saturday night with the low around 49 and with winds that could once more gust up to 15 mph.
Sunday will be yet another day to bask in the glow of the Californian sun, with the mercury expected to hit a high of 72 degrees and a gentle northeast wind turning southwest later in the day. As the city transitions into the workweek, temperatures are forecasted to soar even higher. Monday’s rays will warm L.A. to a balmy 80 degrees, while the following night will see a mostly clear sky with a cozy low of 53 degrees.
Those looking forward to more sun won't be disappointed as Tuesday keeps the streak going with a high of 79 degrees under clear skies. However, there’s a chance for some nighttime fog to roll in after 11:00 p.m., possibly setting the stage for a cloudier Wednesday. The mid-week forecast includes patchy morning fog which should give way to partly sunny conditions with a high hovering around 73 degrees. Thursday is set to maintain the mostly sunny status quo, with the temperature hanging near the 70-degree mark once again.
