Good morning and happy Friday. We're looking at slightly warmer but mild weather today as we head into a short weekend warmup. Spoiler alert — more rain is in store for next week.
Morning low clouds will cover the coasts and valleys until they fade by the afternoon. Temperatures will be between 3 to 6 degrees warmer compared to Thursday's chilly highs.

Look for highs in the low to mid 60s across from the coasts to the valleys and inland areas. The high desert will be much cooler, with highs in the mid 50s to low desert. Over in Coachella Valley, temperatures will reach 70 degrees.
Tonight's lows will drop to the mid 40s.
This weekend expect highs in the upper 60s to low 70s for Southern California.
For next week, the National Weather Service says there's a growing chance of light to moderate rain Tuesday through Thursday.
The storm system, however, won't be as cold as the last one, which means little to no snow below 8,000 feet.
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.
