Los Angeles residents can expect a shift from the gloomy morning skies to sunshine as the day progresses with highs tiptoeing into the mid-60s, according to weather forecasts for March 11th. The winds are to decisively switch from east-southeast at 5 to 10 mph to south-southwest in the afternoon, as reported by the National Weather Service. Tonight, those clearer skies will again be veiled in clouds, with temperatures dropping to around 50 degrees and winds making a steady reversal back from the west-southwest to east-southeast after midnight.

Tuesday's forecast seems to mirror today's conditions, with the day starting cloudy before yielding to mostly sunny skies and a slightly warmer high near 67. The east wind is expected not merely to switch but to somewhat increase with gusts possibly reaching up to 15 mph. Los Angelenos should also prepare for another increase in cloud cover come Tuesday night, and a low hovering around 52 degrees. Meanwhile, the wind will transition from a west-southwest breeze of 5 to 10 mph to a gentle and variable whisper as the night deepens.

The National Weather Service indicates a warming trend as the week advances, with Wednesday's mercury rising comfortably to a high near 72 under mostly sunny conditions. Light winds are expected to gather strength from the west in the morning. Nightfall on Wednesday brings a promise of mostly clear skies and a stable low around 51.

Steady warmth and clarity will define the latter part of the week, with Thursday and Friday slated to be sunny, with the thermometer topping out around 72 each day. Evenings will cool to an unchanging low near 51 with skies remaining mostly clear, offering a stretch of predictability in the City of Angels. The weekend continues to please even further, with Saturday also expected to be sunny and allow temperatures to gently rise to a welcoming high near 75, while Saturday night should remain mostly clear with a low of 52. Sunday stays the sunny course with highs matching Saturday's 75, ensuring a consistent end to what might be an exceptional week of weather in Los Angeles.
