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.

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.

This day in history

On this day in 2020, a major heat wave struck Southern California. In Woodland Hills and Chino, temperatures reached 121 degrees.

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.

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
