Downtown Los Angeles rolled into Thursday, June 25, under a classic June Gloom setup: a shallow marine layer, pockets of patchy fog and morning temps in the low 60s, with an afternoon high near 79°F on tap. Low clouds are expected to cling to many coastal and near-coastal neighborhoods through mid-morning before partial clearing, and a few beaches may stay gray all day.
Foggy Mornings, Slow Clearing
Patchy fog is likely before 11 a.m. along the coast and into the coastal valleys, while inland areas warm into the upper 70s to around 80°F by midafternoon. Tonight trends cooler, with lows generally in the upper 50s to mid 60s as the marine layer creeps back in after dark.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
South-southwest breezes up to about 10 mph are expected this afternoon in the basin, and stronger afternoon winds will reach spots like the Antelope Valley later in the week, where gusts could approach advisory levels. Out on the water, mariners should keep an eye on conditions, with nearshore gusts and seas building toward 10 feet Saturday night into Monday, according to the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard.
Weekend Outlook
June Gloom is set to hang around through at least Wednesday, July 1, keeping coastal highs in the mid-to-upper 60s and inland highs in the mid-70s. Saturday looks cooler with a high near 75°F and Sunday around 73°F. Expect slow clearing each day, so if you are planning outdoor time, aim for later in the afternoon when skies are most likely to brighten.
What This Means For Your Day
Allow some extra time for morning commutes, since reduced visibility from fog will be most likely before 11 a.m., and keep a light layer handy for the cool, gray starts and breezy evenings. If you are heading offshore this weekend, be sure to check the latest marine forecast before leaving the dock, as conditions could be choppy from Saturday into Sunday.
