Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

Expect today to be cloudy and cool again, with the Los Angeles basin seeing highs at or just below 70 degrees.

Quick Facts
    • Today’s weather: Cool, low 70s
    • Beaches: Cloudy, high 60s
    • Mountains: Sunny, mid-60s
    • Inland: High 70s to low 80s

Marine Layer

The gray weather is being caused by a deep marine layer that's also resulting in drizzle throughout much of the region, according to the National Weather Service.

Through Thursday, the beaches are expected to remain cloudy throughout the day. Areas further inland will see fog and drizzle overnight and in the mornings, with the clouds clearing to sunshine in the afternoons.

Thursday is expected to be the coolest day of the week, with temperatures between 6 and 12 degrees below normal.

For today, the valleys will see temperatures in the mid 70s, and the Inland Empire will see highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.

This Day In History

In 1932, 12 serious brush fires broke out in San Diego County on account of strong winds and low humidity. All told, nearly 2,000 acres were burned.

Things To Do

Break up the gloomy weather with some thought-provoking art:

  • Njideka Akunyili Crosby / Stan Douglas: The David Zwirner Gallery in East Hollywood hosts an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. to celebrate its inaugural exhibitions. "Coming Back to See Through, Again" features new and recent work by Crosby, and Douglas’ major two-channel video installation ISDN (2022), along with a group of related photographs.

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.
