Los Angeles residents can expect a partly sunny sky today, with the high temperatures hovering near a comfortable 79 degrees. As reported on the National Weather Service, calm winds are anticipated to pick up, shifting southwest at around 5 mph by the afternoon. However, the weather is set to throw a bit of a grey blanket over the city tonight with patchy drizzle and fog rolling in after 11 pm, accompanied by a drop in temperature to a low of around 57 degrees.

The start of the workweek will maintain that cloudy disposition until mid-morning on Monday, as the patchy drizzle and fog are expected to retreat before 11 am. "Cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing," the forecast suggests, leading to a high of about 68 degrees. The city will experience a shift in winds, from east-southeast at 5 to 10 mph to a west-northwest breeze in the afternoon, which could reach gusts as high as 15 mph.

Come Tuesday, Los Angeles will see the sun break through again with a crisp high of nearly 69 degrees and steady northern winds shifting southwest later in the morning. If you've been missing the clear L.A. nights, Tuesday night's sky will be mostly clear, with the low dropping to a cooler 49 degrees. The trend of sunny skies continues throughout the week, with highs consistently reaching the upper 60s to 70 degrees, and nighttime lows hovering around the 50-degree mark.

The outlook for the rest of the week indicates more of the same with sunny days and mostly clear nights. It's worth noting that there might be a slight change come Saturday as there's "a slight chance of showers" punctuating the otherwise partly sunny day. Nonetheless, the iconic Los Angeles fog will be making its presence subtly known, especially during the late nights and early mornings. Let's keep a light jacket handy just for that slight uncertainty the weather holds in store. According to the extended forecast, "Thursday night patchy fog after 11 pm. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 49."
