Give yourself a pat on the back — we made it to Friday. The skies will dry up by the afternoon ahead of a dry weekend. A chance of more rain is in the forecast next week.
Quick Facts
-
- Today’s weather: Wet morning, partly cloudy afternoon
- Beaches: Low 60s
- Mountains: 46
- Inland: Low 60s
- Warnings and advisories: Wind advisory
Daytime highs will continue to be on the chillier side — in the low 60s — for coasts, valleys and the high desert. Mountain communities will see highs in the mid 40s again. For Coachella Valley, expect a slight chance of rain before 10 a.m. — otherwise mostly sunny skies with a high of 73 degrees.
Any rain continuing into the afternoon will peak at no more than one-third of an inch per hour. Once this storm system has moved on, the National Weather Service says, we should have received between one-half inch to one inch of rain across coastal areas and valleys and up to two inches in the foothills and mountains.

A couple of mountain peaks will pick up between two and five inches of snow this morning.
A wind advisory will end by noon for the Antelope Valley and foothills, San Gabriel Mountains, Highway 14 and the I-5 corridor. Winds could 35 mph, with gusts up to 50 mph.
Tonight we are looking at partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid-40s.
Look Ahead
Expect a mostly sunny weekend with highs in the mid-60s. Right now it looks like an average daytime high of 65 degrees for Super Bowl Sunday for the valleys and coasts.
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.
