On the coasts, it will be cooler, with highs in the low 60s. There will also be some wind, at around five to 15 mph. Further inland, temperatures will be similar but wind will be higher, with gusts possibly reaching 20 mph.
Similar to recent nights, the coastal low clouds extend well inland and onto the lower coastal mountain slopes. However, the depth of the cloud layer is less than recent nights and any drizzle should be much patchier. #cawx pic.twitter.com/IUsv2g7e2Z

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced.
