The city of Angels is set to experience a sequence of foggy mornings giving way to mostly sunny afternoons this week according to the National Weather Service. Today's weather, for instance, started with patchy dense fog which is expected to lift by 11am, making room for sunnier skies with temperatures peaking at a warm 87 degrees and light winds picking up speed in the southwest.
Tonight, Angelenos should anticipate the return of patchy fog after 11pm, the skies growing more opaque as clouds increase, with the mercury dipping to a comfortable 66 degrees, while southwest winds slow to a gentle breeze. Monday and Tuesday echo today's pattern, both days enveloped in morning fog that stubbornly clings until near midday before conceding to clear skies, and temperatures are forecasted to hover in the mid-80s, the winds maintaining their subtle dance.
As mid-week approaches, the consistency of the coastal city's climate offers little in the way of surprises: Wednesday's and Thursday's forecasts predict high temperatures climbing to the upper 80s, afternoons basked in sunlight following the now familiar pattern of morning fog, the nights cooling down to the mid and upper 60s. Friday and Saturday follow suit with slightly cooler highs in the mid-80s, the nights wrapped in gentle fog and cloud cover, reminding us of the ocean's proximity and the temperamental nature of coastal weather.
For those making outdoor plans throughout the week, keep in mind that Los Angeles’ microclimate requires an adaptable wardrobe, ready for the cool embrace of the early fog and the warm brush of the afternoon sun, so it might be best to pack a light jacket just in case, because as the week moves forward, there's no significant deviation expected from this rhythm of mist and sunlight.
