Los Angeles residents can expect a sequence of cloud cover and fog punctuated by moments of clarity and sunshine over the next few days. The National Weather Service forecasts indicate a calm wind turning southwest today, with a high nearing 58 degrees. As the day progresses, the city should see gradual clearing after a cloudy morning. The evening will bring increasing clouds, giving way to a low of around 44 degrees.
Friday plans in the City of Angels suggest carrying a light jacket, with the morning again covered in clouds before giving way to mostly sunny skies and a gentle west-southwest breeze in the afternoon. Looking to Friday night, a patchy fog will drape over the city after 10 pm, which is set to persist until Saturday morning. Undoubtedly, patches of light will grace us throughout the day, as the fog lifts to reveal partly sunny skies and a high of about 66 degrees. Calm winds will resume their southwestern whisper in the afternoon.
The forecast for Sunday mirrors that of Saturday with patchy morning fog anticipated before 10 am, then a mostly sunny sky and a high around 68. Nightfall will again see patchy fog after 10 pm, despite the clouds that otherwise indicate a mostly cloudy evening with a low hovering near 50. This back-and-forth dance of fog and clear skies continues into Monday, with afternoon clearing and a high also near 68, offering a glimpse of the quintessential sunny Southern California weather.
However, an orderly procession of rain chances ushers in on Monday night. A slight chance of rain after 4 am gives way to an unsettled pattern, followed by "a chance of rain" on Tuesday and lingering through mid-week, carrying highs in the lower to mid-60s, according to the forecast. For Angelinos, this may mean retrieving their seldom-used umbrellas and dusting off raincoats. The chance of rain persists into Wednesday, coupled with partly sunny conditions and a high near 61, bringing the region a gentle nudge to remember the workings of a season's change.
