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.

After Saturday’s rain and hail, the skies are expected to stay blue throughout the rest of the day and into the week.

“We're going to have clearing skies and start our warming trend, but with the sunshine it's going to feel a lot nicer than the last couple of days,” said Dan Gregoria, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Gregoria added that this week will be a dry one, and we'll see the return of the Santa Ana winds — up to 30 or 40 mph in places like Cajon Pass and the Inland Empire.

“They're going to be strongest [on] Monday morning, but extending into Tuesday as well,” he said. “Windy enough where, you know, some tree limbs could fall.”

Drivers along the I-10 in high-profile vehicles may feel those gusts.

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.
