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.
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.
