Good morning, it's Thursday and we are just one day away from the weekend. Clear skies today and tomorrow before the powerful storm up north makes its way to the Southland, but forecasters say we won't see the same dangerous weather conditions.
As the National Weather Service alerted us yesterday with their Crispy Skin Alert, today will be the driest day of the week, so don't forget to moisturize.
The Inland Empire will feel warmer today as temperatures rise to the upper 70s, and even up to 80 degrees in Temecula. Meanwhile, the valleys will see highs in the mid 70s. Highs for the inland coast will remain in the low 70s, and we are looking at highs in the 60s for coastal cities and beaches.

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.
