If you're looking to warm up, head to the desert. Coachella Valley is expected to see temperatures reach the low 80s.
Antelope Valley is facing a wind advisory through 9 a.m., with gusts expected to reach up to 45 mph.
Staring Thursday, temperatures are expected to warm up thanks to an offshore flow pattern, although it's not clear how much of that flow will materialize.
This day in history
In 2007, a spark from welding equipment started the Island Fire. The blaze burned 4,750 acres and caused nearly 1,200 people to be under evacuation orders.
Things to do
Cozy up from the cool breezes with two excellent film options:
- Imitation of Life / Mildred Pierce: Watch a double feature of these two classics in 35mm at the New Beverly Cinema. Up first is the 1959 film directed by Douglas Sirk about two widowed mothers and their troubled daughters as they try to find happiness through racial injustice. The film stars Lana Turner, John Gavin, Sandra Dee and Mahalia Jackson. It’s followed by Joan Crawford in the film noir melodrama Mildred Pierce, directed by Michael Curtiz.
- Reel To Reel: Big Boss Featuring Keke Palmer in Conversation: Join the actress and singer at the Grammy Museum as she shares her new film Big Boss — about her experiences in the music industry — followed by a conversation with the artist about the making of the film and visual album, which is out on Friday, May 12.

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.
