Los Angeles locals can expect to see a mix of cloudy skies and sunshine this week, with chances of rain scattered throughout the forecast. According to the National Weather Service, today's patchy drizzle and fog should give way to clear skies by the afternoon, with a mild high of 74 degrees and light winds shifting southwest later in the day.

Tonight's weather will bring a 40 percent chance of rain after 11:00 P.M., as clouds are forecasted to quickly build up and bring the temperatures down to a low of about 58 degrees. Residents might want to prepare to carry an umbrella as new precipitation is forecasted, although amounts will likely be less than a tenth of an inch. The beginning of the work week seems to follow suit with a 50 percent chance of morning rain on Monday before skies clear up, as detailed by the National Weather Service.

The current forecast shows that Tuesday will see early fog, but it's expected to burn off quickly, leaving a mostly sunny day with highs in the low 70s. Yet, by Tuesday night, the fog is predicted to roll back in, setting up the city for more overcast conditions. The cloud cover doesn't seem to fully go away, persisting through Wednesday with a 20 percent chance of early rain and partly sunny conditions throughout the day.

Later on, in the week, Angelenos should ready themselves to keep their rain gear close by, as there's continued potential for more precipitation Wednesday night, with rain chances increasing after 11:00 P.M. Thursday might start with a slight chance of rain before midday, before making a turn towards partly sunny weather and a high near 73 degrees. The weekend, however, is set to bring a change, with skies expected to clear up on Friday and sunny weather taking hold, climbing to a peak of 86 degrees by Saturday.
