Fog and drizzle in SoCal before warmer weather arrives next week

-
- 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.
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.
