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: Cloudy through mid-morning, high near 68
    • Beaches: 62 high, 52 low
    • Mountains: High near 55, winds up to 20 mph
    • Inland Empire: 73 high, 46 low

Thursday will be a carbon copy of yesterday with a persistent marine layer and onshore flow keeping our chill weather pattern, according to the National Weather Service. The same patchy drizzle and fog could stick around in the morning hours, and by mid-morning we could see gradual clearing for most areas.

The clouds will struggle to lift along the beaches. Temperatures are mostly the same — in the lower 60s for the coasts and valleys. The deserts could see temps in the mid-70s, which is between 5 and 10 degrees cooler than normal. Mountain areas will see temps linger in the mid-50s, but winds at night could pick up to 20 mph. It'll be partly sunny in Orange County, with a high near 70.

As the week continues, increasing onshore winds are expected, peaking in the 30 to 50 mph range for interior valleys and lower mountains and possibly continuing into the weekend. After that, a warming trend is expected to begin.

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.
