Quick Facts
-
- Today’s weather: Hot, sunny
- Beaches: 70s
- Mountains: 89-99
- Inland: 90s-105
- 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.
Check out our full list of things to do this week.
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.
