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.

Quick Facts
    • Today’s weather: Morning clouds then sunny
    • Beaches: 70-75 degrees
    • Mountains: 75-83 degrees
    • Inland: 81-88 degrees
    • Warnings and advisories: None

The first day of fall is a couple weeks away (13 days, but who's counting?), and SoCal is already getting a taste of autumn this week as temperatures will drop into the 80s and even the 70s in some places.

Wake up to morning clouds and foggy conditions closer to the coast, but come this afternoon, the clouds will part for some sunshine.

Inland and valley areas will feel that relief. Highs for L.A. County valleys and the Inland Empire will stay mostly in the mid-80s, with the warmest areas reaching up to 88 degrees.

The Orange County coast will see similar temperatures, with highs up to 78 degrees and up to 80 degrees for inland areas.

Coachella Valley will still be warm, with highs from 96 to 101 degrees.

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.
