Happy Hump Day! We're in for another mild weather day with morning clouds and fog followed by afternoon clearing. Come Thursday, there's a chance of showers and thunderstorms, thanks to remnants of Hurricane Priscilla.
In the forecast — temperatures in the 70s and mid 80s for most of the region. Along the L.A. County coast, we're going to see highs from 68 to 73 degrees, and around 79 to 83 degrees more inland. The rest of the valley communities will see highs up to 85 degrees.
Orange County coastal areas will stay in the low to mid 70s range, and in the upper 70s up more inland.
For the Inland Empire, temperatures will be a couple of degrees cooler, with highs topping out at 88 degrees.
In Coachella Valley, daytime highs will stay in the mid 90s.
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.
