Quick Facts

  • Beaches: 69-74 degrees
  • Mountains: 70s-80s degrees
  • Inland: 81-88 degrees
  • Warnings and advisories: None

Welcome to another weird weather day here in SoCal. The sun will be out for most parts of the region, but looming rain clouds will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon.

If any drizzle or precipitation falls, the National Weather Service says that southern L.A. County and Orange County could get a taste of the wet weather first. Then it will most likely move eastward.

Temperatures will stay relatively the same. We're looking at highs from 69 to 74 degrees for L.A. County beaches and between 71 and 78 degrees for coastal Orange County.

L.A. County valleys will see highs from 78 to 86. Meanwhile, we'll see slightly warmer conditions for the Inland Empire, with highs of up to 88 degrees.

In Coachella Valley, expect highs of up to 93 degrees.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive before year-end will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
