Downtown Los Angeles is settling into a dry, mostly sunny stretch, with Tuesday's high near 75 degrees and no rain in sight. The bigger shift arrives later this week, when coastal and valley areas warm into the lower to mid-80s, bringing a distinctly late-summer feel.
Sunny Skies Give Way To A Noticeably Warmer Weekend
Wednesday should be sunny with a high near 76, followed by 79 degrees Thursday. Friday and Saturday are expected to reach the lower to mid-80s across coastal and valley areas. Dry conditions are expected to continue, with the next rain chance expected November 11 or 12.
Offshore Winds Stay Mostly A Regional Story
The National Weather Service says offshore winds will strengthen across parts of Southern California from Thursday through the weekend, with the strongest conditions likely Friday through Sunday. Downtown's point forecast keeps winds generally light, though nearby valleys and passes could see stronger gusts. In other words, the heat will be the main story in the city, while wind-sensitive areas elsewhere may need to pay closer attention.
Cooler Nights Keep A Light Jacket Handy
Overnight lows generally stay in the mid-to-upper 50s. That makes for easy afternoon plans, but early-morning walkers and late-night diners may still want a layer.
Coastal Waters Turn Choppy
People heading onto the water should expect rougher conditions, with small-craft advisories beginning Tuesday afternoon across several waters south of Point Conception and continuing in parts of the region into Thursday morning. Downtown itself has no land-based weather alerts in the current forecast.
The Monday forecast had already pointed to a warmer weekend; temperatures are expected to cool Monday. For city residents, the week ahead looks simple: sunny skies, dry sidewalks and temperatures that keep pretending November is still summer.
