As Los Angeles heads into another week of its characteristic summer climate, locals can expect a mix of foggy mornings followed by clear, sunny afternoons. According to the detailed forecast for Los Angeles, CA, released by the National Weather Service, today brings "Patchy fog before 11am. Otherwise, cloudy through mid morning, then clearing, with a high near 81." Light winds from the west southwest will pick up throughout the morning hours. Tonight, the city will see a similar pattern with "Patchy fog after 11pm. Otherwise, increasing clouds, with a low around 61."
Looking to Tuesday, the pattern holds steady, the fog lingering before giving way to clearer skies and a high that's nudging toward the upper 80s. "Patchy fog before 11am. Otherwise, cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 88," predicts the forecast shared on the National Weather Service's website. True to form, the evening will usher in increasing clouds as the temperature dips to a comfortable low in the mid-60s, while the southwest breeze takes its leave, becoming light and variable.
As the week progresses, Wednesday offers an almost identical weather situation, promising "Patchy dense fog before 11am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 89." Residents should enjoy the calm, accompanied by a light southwest wind in the afternoon. Nighttime brings back the dense fog, settling over the city "after 11pm. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 64."
Moving toward the weekend, Thursday heats up to near 90 degrees after the anticipated morning fog disperses, giving way to ample sunshine—the kind for which Southern California is renowned. The pattern of parting clouds continues on Thursday evening, with the skies expected to be "Partly cloudy, with a low around 63."
The weekend forecast suggests that consistency is the name of the game for L.A.'s weather, Friday to Sunday. Daily highs will range from the mid-80s to the low-80s, and nights will hover in the low-60s, with each day being greeted by patchy fog that'll clear up as the day matures, heralding mostly sunny skies. As the forecast informs, "Patchy fog after 11pm. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 63," the familiar chill of the night can be expected as a prelude to the next day's sunny promise.
With no major deviations on the horizon, Angelenos can look forward to predictable summer days, where the mornings may start under a blanket of fog, but always with the certainty of California sun to follow.
