The City of Los Angeles is set for a week of characteristic coastal weather, marked by the regular presence of patchy fog and a persistent cloud cover, according to forecasts. Commuters in LA might find some solace in the light winds and moderate temperatures that seem to be the theme for the coming days, a welcome respite from the potential extremes of early spring.
Specifically, the National Weather Service predicts that today, the city will experience patchy fog before 11:00 a.m., followed by mostly cloudy skies with a peak temperature hovering near 62 degrees. While the light southwest wind increases its pace to 5 to 10 mph in the morning, tonight's forecast suggests that the fog will revisit around 11:00 p.m., trailed by continued cloudiness and a low of around 52 degrees, and winds that could gust up to 15 mph.
Friday should see the fog lifting before the late morning, transitioning into general cloudiness, and then giving way to sunnier skies with temperatures peaking near 67 degrees. The evenings appear to be holding consistent as well, with Friday night slated to bring partly cloudy conditions, and a low near 51 degrees, despite a shift in the wind's direction post-midnight.
Over the weekend, Saturday is promised to be mostly sunny, with pleasant highs around 68 degrees, though Pacific breezes are expected to pick up in the afternoon. Patchy nighttime fog continues its scheduled visits after 11:00 p.m., dimming the city's lights and setting a low of around 51 degrees. Meanwhile, those with outdoor plans on Sunday might welcome the mostly cloudy sky that provides a cover from more severe elements, and a slightly cooler high temperature near 64 degrees.
As Angelenos head into the new workweek, Monday offers no significant departure from the ongoing climate script; once the early fog abates, residents can anticipate mostly clouded skies, culminating at a high near 68 degrees. Residents might experience some déjà vu come Monday night, as they encounter again the now-familiar fog after 11:00 p.m., with conditions resting comfortably at a low around 53 degrees.
At the week's pivot, Tuesday mirrors the days before—clouds, fog, with temperatures hovering near 68 degrees. But as Wednesday comes, it carries with it a chance of rain.
