One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

QUICK FACTS

  • Today’s weather: Mostly sunny
  • Beaches: 70 to 75 degrees
  • Mountains: 70s to 80s at lower elevations
  • Inland: 75 to 81 degrees
  • Warnings and advisories: None

Another toasty day is on tap for Southern California as temperatures continue to rise all week long. The National Weather Service also says that it's going to be windy today. In L.A., wind gusts will reach 30 to 45 mph over the Santa Monica mountains, the Antelope Valley and even the I-5 corridor.

If you ask me, beach days during the winter are the most underrated and today's forecast proves my point. If you're heading to Santa Monica or hitting up other SoCal beaches, enjoy the 70- to 75-degree weather.

More inland, areas like downtown L.A., inland Orange County and even the Inland Empire will see highs from the upper 70s to the low 80s. Over in the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys, meanwhile, warmer temps await with highs up to 85 degrees. And the Coachella Valley will be the warmest of them all, where high temperatures will reach the low 90s.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
