Los Angeles residents might want to keep their umbrellas close by as the city gears up for a rainy weekend, according to the latest weather reports. Today, after some patchy morning fog, Angelenos can expect the clouds to clear, making way for mostly sunny skies, but don't be fooled by the temporary respite—the high is only expected to reach a cool 66 degrees, with breezy conditions as wind speeds may gust up to 20 mph from the east southeast before swinging west southwest in the afternoon.
Tonight, the cloud cover will make a comeback, setting the stage for a dreary end to the week, with temperatures dropping to around 49 degrees—there's also a possibility of gusts ratcheting up to 15 mph as the wind shifts from west-southwest to southeast after midnight, Tomorrow won't bring much relief, as it will mainly be a mostly cloudy day paired with a high merely brushing 62 degrees, and those gusts they aren't giving up, potentially hitting 15 mph as the wind continues its dance shifting from southeast to southwest throughout the day.
The rain is scheduled to roll in Friday night, with an 80% chance of precipitation, and residents should prepare for a wet deluge leading into Saturday, where the forecast grimly promises more rain—a veritable 100% certainty—with accumulation expected between three quarters and one inch, as temperatures peak at a chilly 57 degrees, and the south southeast winds keep blowing strong with gusts that could reach 20 mph.
For those hoping for a break in the wet weather, Saturday night offers no solace—it could not only bring more rain but also the added thrill of thunderstorms before 11 pm, followed by likely showers and possible thunderstorms after that, the likelihood of precipitation stubbornly clinging at 80%, The murky weather will linger into Sunday, with the chance of showers and thunderstorms most of the day and mostly cloudy skies—though the mercury may climb slightly to near 60 degrees.
Looking ahead to next week, the forecast from the National Weather Service brings some optimism for L.A.'s weather-weary. By Monday, residents can expect the gloomy skies to clear, with mostly sunny conditions and a high near 66 degrees. Continuing the warming trend, Tuesday's forecast heralds sunny weather and a high of 72, leading into a sunny and warm Wednesday with a high of 75 degrees.
