Enjoy the cool weather while it lasts! The National Weather Service says there's a warm-up on the horizon for later this week, with high temperatures close to what we'd typically expect this time of year.
For now, it'll be another day of overcast conditions in the morning followed by partly cloudy skies in the afternoon.
At L.A. County beaches, temperatures will range from 67 to 72 degrees. For the valleys, expect highs from 78 to 84 degrees, and up to 98 degrees over in the Antelope Valley.
Down in Orange County, temperatures along the coast will range from 70 to 76 degrees and up to 80 degrees inland. Over in the Inland Empire, another day of temperatures from 82 to 91 degrees. Looking ahead for that area — forecasters say there's still a slight chance of thunderstorm activity over the San Bernardino mountains this Friday.
Meanwhile, in Coachella Valley, hot conditions will continue with highs from 101 to 106 degrees.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
