As Los Angeles residents break out their umbrellas this morning, the skies tell a tale of upcoming change. According to the National Weather Service, rain is likely before 11:00 a.m. today, followed by a possibility of showers in the afternoon. The mostly cloudy cover caps the high at a cool 63 degrees, with an east southeast wind picking up to a southwestern breeze by the afternoon. The chance of precipitation stands firm at 70%, yet the new rainfall amounts will likely be less than a tenth of an inch.

Come Tuesday, Los Angeles can expect a return to mostly sunny conditions and a slight climb in temperature, boasting a high near 67 degrees.

The promise of midweek sunshine continues on Wednesday, delivering a high near 65 degrees, accompanied by a northwest breeze. However, Wednesday night introduces patchy fog rolling in after 11:00 p.m., changing the tone of an otherwise mostly cloudy evening with a consistent low around 47.
Looking towards Thursday, the weather narrative takes a subtle turn, presenting a 20 percent chance of rain after 11:00 a.m. Amidst the partly sunny sky, patchy morning fog is expected to clear, setting the stage for a high near 62 degrees. The night follows suit with mostly clear skies and a low once again hovering around 47. Friday ushers in sunny conditions, promising a more pronounced high of 71 degrees. The clear trend marches into the night with a low of 49.
