About the storm up north
Come this weekend, we're going to see some big changes in the weather as a monster storm from the Pacific Northwest makes its way south.
That means colder temperatures and periods of steady rainfall Saturday through Tuesday.
Temperatures are expected to drop to the mid 50s and low 60s and we'll see between half an-inch to an inch of rain from the coasts to the valleys.
Any snow that comes out of this storm will fall at levels above 8,000 feet.
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.
