Happy Wednesday! Congratulations you’ve made it to the middle of the week. It’ll be dry today through the Thanksgiving weekend, with a slow warming trend and light to moderate Santa Ana breezes in the forecast.
There’s a chance of lingering drizzle in L.A. County this morning with mostly cloudy skies this evening. Highs will be in the mid to upper 60s and lows will be in the upper 50s.
For L.A. County beaches, highs will be in the 60s. The evening will remain partly cloudy with lows in the mid 50s.
The San Fernando Valley will be slightly warmer with highs in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees and slightly cooler this evening with lows between the mid 40s to around 50 degrees.
The long term outlook is promising. Thanksgiving will be dry and sunny with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s across the coasts and valleys.
The National Weather Service is predicting that next week will feature an extended period of dry and warmer weather for the area.
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.
