One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

Quick Facts

  • Today’s weather: Cool, partly cloudy
  • Beaches: 60s to 70s
  • Mountains: 60s to 70s
  • Inland: 70s
  • Deserts: 80s
  • Warnings and advisories: A wildfire smoke advisory is in effect until 11 p.m. tonight due to the fires burning in Southern California.

It feels like sweater weather and that's because a series of low pressure systems have brought cool weather for the past few days. Now, there's a chance of light showers and thunderstorms tomorrow.

Today will be partly cloudy and cool with highs in the 70s across the Southland. We're looking at highs in the upper 60s for the beaches, up to 70 degrees in Long Beach and low 70s for the mountains.

Valley temperatures will range in the mid to upper 70s, including the Inland Empire. The warmest it will get for inland areas is up to 79 degrees. In the deserts, temperatures will stay in the 80s.

Tonight's lows will drop to the 50s.

More on rain and thunderstorms tomorrow

The highest chance of rain tomorrow will be along the coast but parts of L.A. and Orange counties as well as the Inland Empire could see some rain. Forecasters say thunderstorms could happen over the Ventura and Santa Barbara mountains. As of now, Friday is looking pretty dry after the morning.

Meanwhile, poor air quality will continue to linger until tonight as three major wildfires continue to burn in Southern California.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
