Los Angeles residents can bask in the sunny skies and moderately warm temperatures today, as the City of Angels boasts a forecasted high of 75 degrees; however, the comfort may be short-lived, with a shift to cooler and potentially wetter conditions looming, says the National Weather Service. Today's East-Northeast breezes are set to swing Southwest in the afternoon, perhaps offering a respite to those wandering the sunbaked streets prior to a veil of patchy fog descending tonight, alongside increasing cloud cover gripping the city with a cooler low around 51.
Thursday's outlook isn't quite as bright, patchy morning fog is expected to give way to a cloud-imbued sky before sunnier spells break through once again by afternoon, though things are cooling down; the mercury is predicted to struggle to hit 60. Gusts could whip up to 20 mph, adding a brisk edge to the air, as we see a shift in the winds from South-Southeast to Southwest across the Los Angeles basin, the National Weather Service reports.
As Friday draws in, Angelenos should have umbrellas ready, the forecast warns of a 60 percent chance of showers and even the potential for thunderstorms after 11 am. The somewhat gloomy skies will be accompanied by mild highs hovering near 58 degrees, those infamous Southwest winds persisting at 10 to 15 mph, and the discomfort of rainfall punctuated by the rawness of sporadic thunderclaps.
Looking towards the weekend, the weather appears to be taking a turn for the better, Friday's dampness is predicted to taper off before 11 pm with a moderate 40 percent chance of lingering showers and thunderstorms, skies then clearing to partly cloudy as nighttime lows dip to around 42. Saturday's forecast suggests residents can shed their rain gear for sunglasses, as sun-drenched skies make a welcome return. Sunday keeps the fair weather rolling with similar conditions, temperatures cresting a mild 65 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
The early promises of spring reassert themselves as we head into next week, with mostly sunny days and balmy highs progressively climbing from 69 to a comfortable 71 by Tuesday, evenings settling into a pattern of mostly clear skies, and lows resting easy in the upper 40s. It seems Los Angeles is set for a mixed bag of weather, but with brighter days just over the horizon, staying informed is key to navigating the city's ever-shifting skyscape.
