Support for LAist comes from
Most areas will see windy conditions, but mountain and coastal communities will see the strongest gusts, according to the National Weather Service.
L.A. county valleys to the Inland Empire can expect daytime temperatures in the upper 50s to the low 60s.
It will be chilly in the mountains with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s in the lower elevations.
Meanwhile in Coachella Valley, expect a high of 70 degrees.
Tonight's lows will drop to the low 40s, even upper 30s for Santa Clarita Valley.
As for the upcoming storm, officials are warning people to stay off the road if you can and reconsider any outdoor plans you might have on Thursday. That's when the peak of this storm is projected to reach Los Angeles.
Officials say we could see anywhere between 1.5 to 3 inches of rain for most areas, brining a moderate risk of flooding in debris flow areas.
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.
