Downtown Los Angeles gets one more sunny, mild day Monday, with a high near 77 and a low around 57. The easy start to the week will not last: temperatures slide through Wednesday and Thursday, while rain chances build into Halloween weekend.
Sunny Monday, Cooler By Wednesday
Monday will be sunny with light west-northwest winds, while Tuesday stays mostly clear with a high near 75 as weak onshore flow returns. By Wednesday, the high drops to about 73 under partly sunny skies, with overnight lows remaining in the upper 50s.
Thursday looks mostly cloudy with a high near 72, followed by a cooler Friday near 70. For downtown readers, that means lighter layers in the morning and a more jacket-friendly evening than the recent warm stretch.
Rain Chances Rise For Halloween Weekend
A slight chance of showers is possible before 11 a.m. Friday. Saturday brings a 40% chance of rain showers and a high near 68, while Sunday carries a 50% chance with a high near 67 and partly sunny skies.
The outlook is still not a promise of an all-day washout: Saturday is expected to stay mostly cloudy, and Sunday may turn partly sunny despite the shower chances. Forecasters say the weekend storm's timing, rainfall totals and strongest impacts remain uncertain, even as rain becomes increasingly likely across Southern California.
Coastal Flood Advisory Runs Through Thursday
Downtown should stay dry, but people heading to the Los Angeles County coast face unusually high morning tides. The National Weather Service says a Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect through 1 p.m. Thursday, with tides around 7.5 to 8 feet and possible shallow flooding on harbor walkways, beach parking lots and bike paths.
Those tides are most relevant near the shoreline, not downtown proper, but they could complicate beach trips, bike rides and harbor access. Anyone heading to the coast should avoid walking or driving through water and follow posted closures if conditions worsen.
The forecast marks a meaningful cooling from Sunday's warm outlook, when Monday was expected to approach 80 degrees. It also sharpens the Halloween-weekend rain signal described in Hoodline's earlier forecast, making Friday through Sunday the stretch to watch.
