We made it to Friday. Don't worry — there's no chance of thunderstorms sneaking into the forecast today. Today's weather will be sunny and a few degrees warmer (make way for spring!).
Quick Facts
- Today’s weather: Sunny
- Beaches: mid 60s
- Mountains/deserts: 40s, 60s/61-77
- Inland: upper 60s - low 70s
- Warnings and advisories: None
Highs will be in the mid to upper 60s along the coast making for a nice beach day stroll. High surf will continue on west facing beaches until 8 a.m. for Ventura and L.A. county beaches, including the Malibu coast.
There will be some offshore winds but nothing major. Inland areas and the valleys will see highs in the upper 60s, from 67 degrees in the San Gabriel Valley, 71 in Riverside and San Bernardino, 69 degrees in Anaheim and up to 73 degrees in the western San Fernando Valley.
Tonight's lows will drop to the 50s for the inland coast and down to the mid to upper 40s for the valleys and foothills.
The weekend will be warm, a nice change of pace to this wet weather streak we've been having.
