Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.
We’re looking at a warmer week ahead. Skies will be partly cloudy before leading to sunshine in the afternoon, and today's highs in the valleys are going to be in the 80s.
Quick Facts
Today’s weather: Warm, sunny
Beaches: Cooler, high 70s and 50s-60s at night
Mountains: Chance of thunderstorms
Inland: Highs could reach the triple digits
Most of Orange County will stay in the high 70s, but we’re seeing desert temperatures reach the triple digits: In the Coachella Valley, it’ll be 102 degrees.
The coastal areas are going to stay relatively cooler with highs in 60s, and that will remain the case for most of the week. The coasts will also see low clouds and fog in the mornings.
In 1962, a storm caused thunder and lightning, snow and very high winds — so high that in the deserts, vehicles were sand blasted.
Things to do
Join our very own John Horn as he chats with Tom Hanks:
Tom Hanks: The Making of Another Motion Picture Masterpiece: Writers Bloc and LAist team to present an evening with Tom Hanks, who discusses his new novel The Making of Another Motion Picture Masterpiece with LAist’s John Horn. Hanks’ book draws inspiration from his personal Hollywood experiences, offering a satirical take on “the infrastructure of a colossal superhero movie.” The event will take place at The Ebell of Los Angeles.

What questions do you have about Southern California?
The rules passed by the state Air Resources Board are the first of their kind — anywhere — and will likely have ripple effects, particularly in Southern California communities that have some of the dirtiest air in the nation.
An onslaught of velella velella washed up on shore this weekend on Southern California beaches. The blue jellyfish-like creatures were swept by the winds of California's recent storms.
