With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today during our fall member drive. 

It's Wednesday and in today's forecast — more May Gray skies this morning followed by the warm, afternoon sun.

Daytime highs for the low desert will range from 89 to 98 degrees, up to 103 degrees in Coachella Valley.

If your evening commute takes you to Antelope Valley or through the 5 Freeway corridor, be careful. Starting at 6 p.m. winds at speeds up to 30 mph are expected, some gusts up to 50 mph. The winds are expected to calm down overnight.

Tonight's lows will drop to the 50s.

This day in history

On this day in 2009, a gustnado (a strong whirlwind sometimes seen during thunderstorms) formed in Hesperia.

Things to do

  • Wags & Wonder: Join Wondery’s May hike crew for a special evening summer hike with adoptable dogs from Pup Culture Rescue. The hike will take you near (of course not up to!) the Hollywood sign for great views and a good workout for you and the dogs. There will also be free drinks from Leisure Hydration.

    To discourage no-shows, there's a $15 RSVP fee that will be refunded after the event.

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.
