Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

Quick Facts
    • Today’s weather: Cool, cloudy
    • Beaches: Highs in the low to mid-60s
    • Mountains: Upper 50s to mid-60s
    • Inland: 55-64
    • Warnings and advisories: Wind advisory

Good Tuesday morning. Light rain continues today for mountain communities in L.A. County, with less than a quarter inch of rain expected, according to the National Weather Service. Most areas will see temperatures in the high 60s. The coasts and some valley areas will mostly stay dry because of the shift in winds for Los Angeles and Ventura counties that will likely reach advisory levels in the evening.

Wind advisory

A wind advisory is in effect for parts of the Antelope Valley and San Gabriel Mountains through early Wednesday morning. Expect 30 to 50 mph wind gusts across most of Southern California. Isolated wind gusts of up to 65 mph could pass over the mountains and deserts.

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.
