Downtown Los Angeles is forecast to have a cool, wet start to Monday, with showers likely for much of the day and a high near 63 degrees. The rain is expected to give way to sunshine Tuesday, followed by a steady climb in temperatures toward the 90s by Friday.
Showers Fade Monday Night
Rain could linger into the afternoon, with a 70% chance of showers and rainfall generally expected to stay below a tenth of an inch. Monday night brings only a slight chance of showers before 11 p.m., followed by partly cloudy skies and a low around 55.
Southwest winds of 5 to 10 mph will accompany Monday’s showers. Drivers and pedestrians should be ready for slick roads during the morning and midday periods, even as occasional breaks in the clouds develop.
Sunshine Returns Before A Major Warmup
Forecasters expect sunny skies Tuesday, with a high near 72, and Wednesday, near 79. Temperatures are then forecast to rise to about 87 Thursday and 91 Friday, according to National Weather Service.
Finding Cooling Centers
If the late-week heat becomes uncomfortable, Ready LA County says residents can call 211 to find a local cooling center and access emergency-preparedness information and other referral services.
The National Weather Service’s broader Los Angeles forecast, as reported by National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard, also calls for Santa Ana winds to strengthen Thursday into Friday, especially in the mountains, valleys and parts of Ventura County. Downtown Los Angeles is typically less exposed to the strongest offshore winds, but residents heading toward the coast or inland foothills should watch for changing conditions.
Coastal Hazards Continue
Coastal flooding advisories remain in effect in parts of the region through Tuesday afternoon, while high surf and beach hazards affect some coastal areas through Monday evening and Tuesday, as noted by National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard. Anyone planning a beach trip should check conditions before heading out, particularly during high tide.
