Today's weather is just right for a stroll through the park, a farmers market or your garden. It's also last call for warm days as a cooling trend kicks in tomorrow.
Quick Facts
- Today’s weather: Warm, sunny
- Beaches: 70s
- Mountains/deserts: 70s/80s-104

Along the coast, temperatures are staying cool in the mid 70s up to 79 in Long Beach with low clouds through the morning.

More inland, temperatures are still in the low 90s, in the high 80s in Orange County. The high deserts are being spared the scorching temperatures, with temperatures reaching the upper 80s. But in Coachella Valley, it will get up to 104.
The lows for most of Southern California will be in the low 60s.
That's California weather for you.
Taking a look ahead: Tomorrow we start to see a cool down with temperatures dropping 2 to 5 degrees and even more for the weekend. There's a chance of rain on Saturday evening. It'll feel like late November weather instead. But, if you've been to a 99 cent store, the Christmas decor on the shelves makes it feel like late November already.
About those advisories
There's a dense fog advisory out for Orange County coastal areas until 9 a.m. this morning.

And the weather is making for ripe fire weather conditions, especially in Santa Barbara and the I-5 corridor. The National Weather Service has issued a fire watch starting at 9 a.m. today until Thursday 5 a.m. (that's when the weather is expected to cool down).
Fire weather watch is in effect until Thursday morning for portions of SoCal.
