Downtown Los Angeles was sitting near 66 degrees early Monday, with dry air, light winds and a mostly clear sky setting up a warm November stretch. Temperatures will climb quickly, reaching about 84 degrees Monday afternoon with no rain in sight.
Warm Weather Continues Through Wednesday
The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard expects mostly sunny skies Monday, followed by an even warmer Tuesday with a high near 86 degrees. Wednesday should be sunny with a high near 86 degrees.
Overnight lows will stay comparatively mild, falling to around 62 degrees Monday and Tuesday night before dipping to about 61 Wednesday night. The combination of warm afternoons and clear, dry air could make mornings feel noticeably cooler in shaded or wind-sheltered spots.
Cooling Starts Thursday, Rain Chance Builds
A noticeable cooldown begins Thursday, when the high is expected to fall to around 82 degrees, followed by highs near 78 Friday and 75 Saturday. Rain chances remain minimal through Friday, although clouds may increase as the week progresses.
Rain chances are 30% to 40% Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Beach Conditions Remain Risky Through Tuesday
For residents heading to the coast, the weather story is more serious: high tides and building west-to-northwest surf are creating hazardous swimming conditions, dangerous spots around rock jetties and a risk of moderate coastal flooding through Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service says high tides will peak around 7.2 to 7.6 feet, with the greatest coastal impacts expected during the strongest surf.
The coastal advisories do not apply to downtown Los Angeles, but beachgoers should check conditions before entering the water and avoid flooded walkways, parking areas and exposed jetties.
