Today's highs for the valleys will be in the 70s and 80s, up to low 90s in the warmest areas like the western San Fernando Valley and Inland Empire. Orange County temps will range in the upper 70s for inland coastal areas, and up to 83 farther inland.
At the beaches, we can expect highs in the 60s and low 70s. Dense fog will cover the coast again until 9 a.m. Remember that dense fog can reduce visibility up to a quarter mile so make sure you give yourself enough space between the cars in front of you and use fog lights.
Here are some notable forecasts:
- 87 degrees in Pasadena
- 81 degrees in downtown L.A.
- 89 degrees in San Bernardino
- 78 degrees in Irvine
Tonight's lows will drop to the upper 50s, 57 degrees at Dodger Stadium. Don't regret it — bring the jacket.
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.
