Los Angeles is in for a steady mix of fog and sun as the weather plays a predictable tune over the next few days. According to the National Weather Service, today's blanket of patchy morning fog will give way to clearer skies, with temperatures peaking at a comfortable 76 degrees and light winds picking up in the afternoon. Tonight, the fog returns, shrouding the city after 11 pm, while clouds gather to push temperatures down to a mild 57 degrees.
Angelenos can expect a similar pattern as they head into the weekend, the morning haze dissipating after 11 am to reveal mostly sunny skies and highs lingering in the mid-70s. From Friday's expected high of 73 degrees to Sunday's Sun-kissed 75, each day will unfurl nearly indistinguishable from the last, the city caught in a gentle loop of meteorological déjà vu, the only variation being a slight shift in winds that might not register much more than a rustle of the palm trees.
For nighttime wanderers or those late to head home, the same patchy fog snakes back into the city, marking a consistent theme for the nights ahead; Friday night will see the mercury drop to about 58 degrees with a tender southwest breeze that provides little relief from the developing humidity. Observers looking skyward won't find much variation as clouds persist, only changing in their shades of grey and thickness, echoing the day's earlier overcast morning.
The forecast indicates no dramatic shifts on the weather front, Monday and Tuesday stay true to the script with days beginning in fog, waxing towards partly sunny afternoons, and flirting with 76-degree highs; so steady is the drumbeat of the days that one might mistake today for tomorrow or the next, the city’s rhythm set by the metronome of the coastal climate, giving little reason to check the forecast when yesterday tells you all you need to know. Wednesday promises to buck the trend slightly; temperatures could climb to nearly 80 degrees, providing a hint of the summer heat eager Angelenos are anticipating.
