Another partly sunny and mild day for SoCal

-
- Today’s weather: Partly sunny, high near 67
- Beaches: 60 high, 54 low
- Mountains: Cloudy early, then sunny, 59 high
- Inland Empire: 74 high, up to 25 mph winds
Wednesday will bring another day of slightly below average temperatures. Look for patchy drizzle and fog in the morning along the coast and expect little or no sunshine during the afternoon. It'll be partly sunny with highs near 67 and lows around 53. The beaches will be mostly cloudy with highs near 60 and lows in the mid 50s.
The mountain areas will start cloudy, before gradually becoming partly sunny with a high near 59. At night, wind gusts could reach 15 mph, with a low in the high 40s.
Orange County will be a little warmer, with a high near 69. The Inland Empire will have the warmest temps with highs in the mid 70s. But at night, look for wind gusts that could hit 25 mph. There is a moderate chance that a wind advisory may be needed for the foothill portions of the Antelope Valley on Wednesday afternoon and evening.
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.
