Beautiful — But Dry — Weather Expected In LA This Labor Day Weekend

It's gonna be toasty and dry this Labor Day weekend. Los Angeles is expecting temperatures in the 70s and 80s on the coasts, and in the 90s and low 100s in parts of the valleys.
While most of the weekend is supposed to be sunny and beautiful (perfect for a day at the beach or an outdoor concert in the Hollywood Bowl), coastal regions can expect some low clouds and fog in the early mornings and evenings due to the marine layer, according to the National Weather Service.
The marine layer is back to its usual antics! Stratus developed along the foothills of the San Gabriels and is now backbuilding into the LA basin. Also notice that random patch of stratus over Ventura County. This makes our forecasting much tougher but also more fun! #CAwx pic.twitter.com/tbuZqOcde0

Conditions are still expected to be pretty dry, and with fire season in full swing, experts at NWS are advising people to use extreme caution with potential firestarters, including bonfires, outdoor work, cigarettes, trailer chains, and other items or activities that could cause a spark due to the critically dry vegetation.

It’s also important to stay safe when temperatures start to heat up. You can check out LAist’s guide to keeping cool to make sure you don’t get too hot this weekend in the valley.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
