Your SoCal Weather Report For Wednesday, Nov. 1: Warm, Breezy And Dry

Feliz Día de los Muertos to all who celebrate. Today's forecast brings you another warm and dry day with some lingering gusts from the Santa Ana winds.

The coastal areas are where you want to be with this warm weather where highs will be in the upper 70s for L.A. and Orange county beaches, up to 86 in Long Beach.

In the valleys, the highs will reach up to 89, except for the Antelope Valley, where it will be much cooler with highs in the mid 70s. Riverside and San Bernardino counties will see highs in the mid 80s, up to 87 in inland Orange County.

In the high desert, temperatures will reach up to 72 and up to 83 in the low desert.

Expect it to be breezy in the mountain passes and valleys for today, then lighter winds tonight through tomorrow.

Tonight's lows will drop to the 50s for most of SoCal, including the low desert. In the high desert, including the Antelope Valley, the lowest temperatures will dip into the upper 30s.

About those advisories

The South Coast Air Quality Management District has issued an air quality alert for the Inland Empire and the Santa Ana mountains area as the Highland Fire continues to burn in Riverside County.

Air quality officials are alerting residents to remain indoors if you see ash or smoke from the wildfire and if you need to be outdoors, wear a mask — preferably a N-95 — to help reduce exposure.

This alert takes effect from 2 p.m. today until 10 a.m. Thursday morning.

Freeze warning (expires 8 a.m.)

• Applies to the Antelope Valley. Frost could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation and extended exposure could lead to hypothermia for pets and people. Remember to check on your loved ones.

This day in history

On this day in 2003, a large waterspout was seen between Laguna Beach and Catalina Island.

Things to do

If you still have the social stamina to go out tonight after Halloween, then here's an event to check out:

• GuadaLAjara Film Festival: GLAFF, the sister fest of Mexico’s Festival Internacional de Cine de Guadalajara, showcases the best of Latinx/e, Latin American and BIPOC cinema and includes industry panels, mixers and galas. The fest opens with Netflix’s No Voy A Pedirle A Nadie Que Me Crea, directed by Fernando Frias de la Parra and based on the award-winning novel of the same name by Juan Pablo Villalobos. GLAFF closes with Maestra, a documentary directed by Maggie Contreras, which follows five women from around the world who are breaking glass ceilings in the male-dominated world of orchestral conducting. The opening gala of the festival honors legendary activist Dolores Huerta with the box office proceeds from this year’s festival donated to her nonprofit organization The Dolores Huerta Foundation.

• Today is the first day of Día de los Muertos and several cities across Southern California are hosting celebrations. One happening all week long is at Olvera Street, where you can catch a theatrical performance called the Dance of Death that runs to Nov 2.
