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.
