Angelenos can look forward to a week of sun and slowly climbing temperatures, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. With the summer season coming to a close, the City of Angels is expected to bask in a calm and sunny day today, with highs reaching around 80 degrees. The gentle touch of a west-southwest wind will sweep through at about 5 mph.
The calm will continue into tonight as clouds inch their way into the sky, setting the stage for a mild evening with temperatures dropping to around 63 degrees. While the settled winds of the west-southwest linger at a soft pace, they will dissolve into stillness as night falls over the sprawling metropolis.
As the weekend greets us, Saturday morning will bring with it patchy fog that should give way before the late morning hours, unveiling clear skies by the afternoon. The day's high is expected to rise slightly higher than today, up to 83 degrees, with still winds throughout. The National Weather Service projects these conditions to persist into Saturday evening, although some gusts could reach speeds up to 15 mph.
Sunday's forecast resembles a typical Southern California day—mostly sunny skies post the ritual patchy morning fog, and a high that pushes the thermometer to a warmer 88 degrees. A southwest breeze will lightly rustle through at 5 mph in the post-noon hours. The night's cover will be a shroud of clouds intermittently broken by wisps of fog rolling in after 11 pm, wrapping the city at a comfortable 65 degrees.
By Labor Day, temperatures are set to hover around a toasty 90 degrees following the usual morning fog, suggesting an ideal end to summer celebrations. This warming trend is looking to peak midweek with Tuesday and Wednesday highs leaning into the lower 90s, while Thursday challenges comfort levels for some, soaring towards a hot 96-degree high. Evening temperatures throughout the week are expected to remain in the cozy mid to upper 60s range, per weather.gov.
