Quick Facts

- Warnings and advisories: Excessive Heat warning, heat advisory
Here's your Tuesday forecast — around 5 degrees warmer for inland areas with minor chances of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
Monsoonal moisture continues to bring a low but current threat to our sunny skies, which means there's a 20% to 30% chance over deserts and mountains of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, coastal areas will continue to see dense fog through 9 a.m. with afternoon highs in the 70s for the beaches to upper 80s into downtown Los Angeles.

Things to do
If you don't already appreciate our Frozen queen Idina Menzel, then perhaps this short essay from my colleague Laura Hertzfield will persuade you to view her otherwise:
- Idina Menzel: 'Take Me or Leave Me': I’ve been an Idina Menzel fan since I first saw her in the Jonathan Larson musical Rent in 1996. (To be fair, fan is probably an understatement, I even hosted a podcast during the pandemic calledThis Year’s RENT.) But my personal RENThead history aside, Menzel remains one of the most recognizable voices on Broadway and beyond – from "Let It Go" to her starring role on Glee to her new musical Redwood which opened just down the 5 Freeway at the La Jolla Playhouse and heads to Broadway this fall. Her latest release, Drama Queen is her first album of original songs since 2016. Catch her performing Broadway classics and songs off the new album at the Wiltern.

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.
