One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

Quick Facts

  • Today’s weather: Cool, partly cloudy
  • Beaches: 60s to 70s
  • Mountains: 60s to 70s
  • Inland: 70s
  • Deserts: 80s
  • Warnings and advisories: A wildfire smoke advisory is in effect until 11 p.m. tonight due to the fires burning in Southern California.

Happy almost Friday. We're looking at partly cloudy skies today and precipitation this morning for most of the Southern California.

From the coasts to the valleys you can expect patchy drizzle through the morning. While the Antelope Valley could see some afternoon showers, the rest of the high and low desert areas should stay dry.

Daytime highs will be in the 70s for the valleys and inland areas, in the upper 60s to low 70s for the beaches. The inland coast will be mostly cloudy all day.

We are looking at a high of:

  • 75 degrees in Rancho Cucamonga
  • 68 degrees in Pasadena
  • 76 degrees in Granada Hills
  • 74 degrees in Fountain Valley

There is a 30% chance of showers tonight for most of the Southern California from the coasts to the valleys and mountains, except for the deserts. Tonight's lows will drop to the mid 50s and low 60s.

Meanwhile, poor air quality will continue to linger until tonight as three major wildfires continue to burn.

Enjoy this cool weather while it lasts because forecasters say we're in for a weekend warmup.
