Happy Memorial Day to all. Though today will start off with the grey skies we’ve become accustomed to over the past month, clouds should burn off by this afternoon providing sunny skies for Memorial Day commemoration events and bbq’s across the region.
If you’re heading to the beach it’ll be cool up and down the SoCal coast, with temperatures reaching the high 60’s with partly cloudy skies. Don’t let those cloudy schools fool you - make sure to still wear your sunscreen.
In Los Angeles highs will reach into the lower 70s, slightly warmer in the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys. We’re just a few degrees below normal but come Wednesday the areas will see highs in the mid to possibly upper 70s. Nigh time will see temperatures in the upper 50’s tonight and throughout the week.
Orange County will be warmer today than it was over the weekend, with most of inland OC looking at partky cloudy - but mostly sunny skies - in the mid 70’s. Temperatures will drop to the low 60’s tonight.
Out in the Inland Empire it’ll be warmer today too, most of the region will be sunny with highs in the mid 80’s with nighttime temperatures in the low 50’s.
This day in history
On this day in 2019 a late season storm brought 1 to 3 inches of snow to parts of the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains on Memorial Day.
Things to do
I'm going to assume that you all have plans firmly in place for the last day of this holiday weekend - good for you!
If not, here's an idea: why not check out one of the contenders in LAist's Tournament of Cheeseburgers? You have until this Thursday, May 30th to cast your vote as we whittle down the top 32 contenders to the Savory 16!
Check out our full list of things to do this week.
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. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
