While Los Angeles will see gradual clearing today after a misty morning, temperatures stay toward the spectrum's cooler side with a high hovering around 69 degrees. The National Weather Service forecasts patchy drizzle and fog before 11:00 a.m., followed by cloudy conditions that will break come midday. According to the latest report, locals can expect light winds picking up from the southwest in the afternoon, at a speed of 5 to 10 mph.
As the sun dips below the horizon, the layers will come in handy, with the evening promising more fog and a return of that drizzle after 11:00 p.m. The mercury will drop to a low around 51, and while the southwest wind will persist into the night, slowing to a soft south-southwest breeze, it might not be felt by those turning early into their beds, engulfed by increasing clouds.
Wednesday's sky will mirror today's, with the morning's overcast reluctantly giving way to partial sunshine and temperatures peaking near 67—a slight nod to the typical warmth of Southern California. For those venturing outdoors, the light but steady southwest wind will be an insistent companion at 5 to 10 mph. The National Weather Service predicts a similar pattern extending into Wednesday night, though the temperature will modestly notch up to 53 for the low.
Thursday's dawn heralds a subtle shift, forecasting partly sunny skies with a high of 68 degrees, flirting with the cooler air that has settled upon the city. A light and variable wind is expected to sweep through, gaining a southern edge by the afternoon, another modest dance of 5 to 10 mph. During the nocturnal hours, the mostly cloudy skies will hold steady over the city.
As the week rolls into Friday, the Sun will be vying for the sky's spotlight, offering a "mostly sunny" performance with a high near 67. Friday night will provide a low of a consistent 51. A pattern emerges as the weekend unfolds—partly sunny on Saturday, overwhelmingly sunny by Sunday, with daytime highs settling near the familiar 67 to 69-degree range.
Under the stark clarity of Sunday night's "mostly clear" sky, temperatures will once again dip to a low around 51. Come Monday, Los Angeles will be basking in full-on sunshine and a comfortable high of 71 degrees.
