Los Angeles residents can look forward to a consistent pattern of foggy mornings and sunny afternoons in the coming days, according to the National Weather Service. The detailed forecast for Los Angeles, as of July 12th, 2024, indicates that today we should expect patchy dense fog to dissipate by 11 am, leading to a generally sunny day with highs reaching a comfortable 83 degrees. Light winds will take a turn from variable to west-southwest, ranging from 5 to 10 mph. As the evening rolls around, the city will see the return of patchy fog after 11 pm, with increasing clouds and overnight lows settling around 66 degrees.

The weekend weather appears to be a carbon copy of Friday's conditions, with both Saturday and Sunday starting with patchy morning fog followed by gradual clearing. Saturday's high will be slightly warmer at around 84 degrees, while Sunday promises mostly sunny skies with the temperature peaking at around 85 degrees. The same light, variable winds are expected to continue through the weekend. However, nighttime will bring back the fog, reminding us that even sunny Los Angeles has its fair share of gray.

Heading into the new week, Monday's weather will mirror the weekend's, starting with fog that's expected to clear by mid-morning. The day should be mostly sunny with a high near 82 degrees, keeping with the mild trend. By nightfall, residents should expect mostly cloudy skies and another visit from the patchy fog, which seems to have made a comfy home in the late hours, maintaining a low of around 63 degrees.

As stated by the National Weather Service, the consistent pattern continues through midweek, with both Tuesday and Wednesday offering more of the same: patchy morning fog before 11 am and mostly sunny afternoons. High temperatures for both days will stay close to the low 80s, while nighttime lows will linger around the low to mid-60s. The gentle caress of the ocean breeze will provide a subtle reminder of the Pacific's proximity, even when obscured by the city's infamous fog.
