Fall weather brings cool temps and chance of drizzle later this week

-
- Today’s weather: Cool, partly cloudy

Look for cooler temps this week with highs topping out in the 70s for most of Southern California.
This morning we'll see some fog, haze and cloud coverage — that should scatter by later this afternoon, followed by partly cloudy skies. That will be pretty typical this week. Forecasters say there's a chance of drizzle come Thursday and gusty winds over the mountains.

For the coasts, temperatures will reach the 60s. Valleys and inland areas will experience highs in the 70s, around 81 degrees for the warmest parts of the western San Fernando Valley and Inland Empire.
In the deserts, expect a high of 98 degrees in Palm Springs and 82 degrees in Victorville.
Tonight's lows will drop to the mid 50s.
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.
