The City of Angels can expect to partly indulge in its quintessential sunny disposition this week—even as it flirts briefly with the chance of showers. According to the National Weather Service, Los Angeles will see a 20 percent chance of rain today, but the sun will largely hold sway, with temperatures cresting at a pleasant 75 degrees. Winds should remain light and variable, taking on a southwesterly whisper at 5 to 10 mph as the day matures.
Tonight, the city will slowly be enshrouded in patchy fog post-11:00 p.m., as clouds gather to lower temperatures to a cool 60 degrees. Residents may feel the winds shift to a southeastern direction after midnight. Ahead of that shift, the weather on Saturday will start with stubborn fog before conceding to clarity as the afternoon promises skies to gradually clear, with highs tipping near 76 and calm winds shifting southwesterly.
Sunday looks to be the harbinger of warmer days, all sun and no interruption, driving temperatures up to a toasty 85 degrees. The wind will remain humble, manifesting only softly from the southwest in the afternoon. The trend of clear nights will maintain as Sunday night's heavens will be mostly devoid of clouds, with lows hovering around 63.
Looking into the next workweek, Los Angeles is prepping to truly warm up with Monday forecasts predicting the mercury to boldly climb to near 90 degrees. Yet, as Monday night ushers in cooler air, the lows are expected to settle around 62. Fog will make its timely cameo before 11: a.m. on Tuesday, but the skies will mostly stay loyal to the sun, aiming for a high of around 84 degrees, according to NWS.
Consistency is the week's companion as Wednesday also dawns with patchy fog, giving way to mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 80s. Nightfall Wednesday brings with it more fog and a patchwork of clouds, with similar temperatures predicted through Thursday. In short, LA's autumn reveals itself to be predominantly sunny, spiced with moments of coastal fog and the occasional, fleeting chance of rain.
