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.

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.
