Quick Facts
    • Today’s weather: Mostly cloudy
    • Beaches: 73-78 degrees
    • Mountains: 83-90 degrees
    • Inland: 80 - 88 degrees
    • Warnings and advisories: None

Southern California's cloudy mornings and afternoon thunderstorms are courtesy of remnants from Tropical Storm Juliette moving into the region after north from Mexico's coast.

The National Weather Service office in San Diego forecasts that the greatest chance rain is for Riverside and San Diego counties. But L.A. could still see a 10% to 20% chance of thunderstorms, mainly in the Antelope Valley.

The good news is that the weather will be slightly cooler with mostly cloudy skies.

For coastal areas, that means highs up to 78 degrees for L.A. County beaches and up to 83 degrees for the Orange County coast.

The San Fernando Valley could see highs as low as 77 degrees, maxing out at 92 degrees for warmer areas.

For the San Gabriel Valley and areas around downtown L.A., you'll see highs in the mid 80s.

The Inland Empire will also get a taste of that cool down where high temperatures aren't expected to surpass 88 degrees. And in Coachella Valley, temperatures retreat to around 93 degrees.

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.
