    About those advisories

    You'll have to postpone the burning of the yule log for at least another day.

    Indoor and outdoor wood burning continues to be prohibited across most of the Southland today.

    The South Coast Air Quality Management District has extended a no burn order until midnight due to high levels of pollution in the air.

    The no burn order applies to the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino — except for the desert areas.

    And there's a coastal flood advisory for L.A. County beaches and the Malibu coast — expect flooding of water on low-lying areas like parking lots and beaches during high tides. High surf is expected to reach 7 feet. The advisory is in effect from 3 a.m. Wednesday to 3 p.m. Thursday.

    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.
    Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
