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.

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.
