Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

Today's weather feels — and looks — like fall (but it's not here yet). You can expect overcast skies for the morning to mid-afternoon and some sunshine later on in the day.

Quick Facts
    • Today’s weather: Cloudy morning, some afternoon sun
    • Beaches: 70s
    • Mountains/deserts: 70s/90s
    • Inland: 80s
    • Warnings and advisories: None

Highs will range from the 70s at the beaches to around 80 in the L.A. Basin, inland Orange County and coastal valleys. The valleys — from Antelope to San Gabriel — and the Riverside area, will be in the 80s. The Coachella Valley will be up into the upper 90s.

This weather is here to stay until Thursday. Come Friday, the highs will start to climb for a warm weekend, with temperatures peaking on Sunday 5 to 10 degrees above average.

Things to do

Pat yourself on the back because we've just made it halfway through the work week. Here's how you can enjoy.

  • Mac Miller celebration: Listen to a night of Mac Miller tunes at this all-ages party. The rapper and producer passed away at age 26 in 2018, but his continuing legacy remains a cultural touchstone for many young creatives today.

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

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. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for 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.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
