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.

We're in for a cloudy morning and you may have caught some early morning drizzle, but don't worry because the clouds will break away for afternoon sunshine.

Quick Facts

  • Today’s weather: cool, partly cloudy and sunny
  • Beaches: upper 60s
  • Mountains/deserts: 60s/56-72
  • Inland: 60s
  • Warnings and advisories: None

Coastal areas will see highs in the upper 60s and a little breezy with light northwest winds — so if plan to walk off that Thanksgiving dinner by the beach, bring a jacket.

In downtown Los Angeles including the valleys expect a high of 70. More inland in Riverside and San Bernardino, average temperatures will range in the mid 60s and up to 67 in Orange County inland areas.

Things to do

We can officially say it's the holiday season! Head to Solvang for holiday festivities, or try something different and go on an outdoor adventure.

  • Solvang Julefest: Solvang, nicknamed “The Danish Capital of America,” opens its seasonal holiday celebration this weekend. Take a trip to the Santa Ynez wine country for Solvang Julefest 2023, which features events taking place throughout the walkable town from now through Jan. 6. Daily happenings include a free light and music show in Solvang Park. Future events include the tree lighting ceremony on Dec. 1, a makers market on Dec. 6, and a candlelight tour on select dates.
  • Seeking adventure? The day after Thanksgiving can find you snacking on holiday leftovers, or it can be the day you launch a life of outdoor adventure. Writer Caroline Paul votes for adventure, especially for women over 50. Paul wrote a book on why outdoor adventures are important as we age. You can listen to our conversation with Paul here.

Check out our full list of things to do this weekend.

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.
Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
