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.

We're heading into a warmer weekend, with less of a marine layer presence extending into the valleys.

Quick Facts
    • Today’s weather: Cloudy morning, afternoon sun
    • Beaches: 70s
    • Mountains/deserts: 70s/90s-106
    • Inland: 80s-90s
    • Warnings and advisories: None

High temperatures this afternoon will be in the mid 70s at the beaches, 80s in coastal valleys.

Farther inland, highs will be in the 90s for the valleys, including the Riverside and San Bernardino area. It'll be warmer today in the Coachella Valley, up to 106.

Looking ahead, the warmest days are expected to be Saturday and Sunday, then a cooling trend will begin to start the work week.

This day in history

On this day in 1949, the chilliest record was recorded in Santa Ana where in the morning it was 51 degrees.

Things to do

It's pre-Friday! The second-best day of the work week. Here's an idea for today:

  • Cars & Coffee: Century Park partners with Malibu Autobahn for a Cars & Coffee morning. This week focuses on swanky “supercars.” While the event is free, visitor parking off Constellation Avenue is $40, so consider ridesharing.

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.
