Ah, magnifique 🌀🫶 This low pressure system will first bring gusty west winds and cooler weather as it comes toward us through Wednesday. As it leaves Thursday, winds will flip around from the north/east (Santa Ana) with some places a touch warmer. #CAwx https://t.co/XkD9cLFSyK

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
