Angelenos can expect a somewhat predictable pattern of weather in the coming days, as the city finds itself wrapped in a shroud of morning clouds before giving way to the sun's persistent efforts. According to the National Weather Service, today Los Angeles will see cloudy skies early on, which should clear gradually, with a peak temperature around 78 degrees and a southwest breeze kicking up to 10 mph in the afternoon.

Tonight, the city will be tucked under patchy fog after 11 pm with increasing cloud cover, the low dropping to a comfortable 61, while winds shift from southwest to southeast, things might become a bit muddled as it's not unusual for easterly winds to contribute to lower visibility in some areas, making the transition from day to night a potentially overcast affair. Gradual clearing will once again occur on Friday, with the day mirroring today's conditions, and the night bringing back the patchy fog and cloud coverage synonymous with Southern California evenings.

The weekend forecast promises a blend of sun and clouds with Saturday largely sunny after the morning fog lifts, and a steady high near 78 degrees. Saturday night, however, will reintroduce a mostly cloudy atmosphere, with temperatures sinking to about 58. Sunday will begin similarly with fog, followed by partly sunny conditions and a slight drop in the mercury to 75, offering residents and visitors alike a mildly cooler day to enjoy the outdoors.

As we move into Sunday night, Los Angeles anticipates a change with a chance of rain entering the forecast after 11pm, transitioning into Monday where the chance of precipitation lingers into the morning, despite the skies clearing up to a high of roughly 70 degrees the week starts with an overcast note and whiffs of rainfall poised to sprinkle over the city, potentially bringing much-needed relief and washing away the remnants of the persisting fog. Los Angeles will see the skies clear up progressively through Tuesday and into Wednesday with expected highs of 74 and 71 respectively, and nighttime lows hovering in the mid-50s, culminating in a stretch of mostly sunny days fit for any outdoor plans you might entertain.
