The weather forecast for Los Angeles looks to be a consistent blend of morning fog and afternoon sunshine this coming week. According to the National Weather Service, today's skies will eventually clear to a high near 72 degrees after a foggy start, with light winds picking up later in the day. The evening promises to bring back the fog, setting the stage for a cloudy night with temperatures dropping to around 58.

Commuters might want to steadily prepare to leave earlier as patchy fog before 11 a.m. on Monday could slow down the morning rush. The fog is expected to give way to a gradual clearing with a high near 74. A southeast wind will switch up to south-southwest in the afternoon, possibly gusting as high as 15 mph.

The rest of the week doesn't diverge much from this pattern. Tuesday's forecast mirrors Monday with some sun expected after the fog lifts, and similar wind conditions. Nighttime will see the fog rolling back in, with lows hovering in the upper 50s. The National Weather Service anticipates mostly sunny afternoons through to Saturday, with highs consistently in the low to mid-70s.

By midweek, Los Angeles residents can expect to once again wake up to foggy conditions, which are forecasted to stick around until 11 a.m. Wednesday. But the sun isn't one to completely hide itself, as it will likely break through the clouds to warm the city to a pleasant 72 degrees. Wednesday night could see a repeat performance with fog developing and the low settling at around 56. The usual dance between fog and sunshine is set to continue well into the weekend.
