Your SoCal Weather Report for Wednesday, Nov. 29: Cloudy Time Is Snuggle Time

Cuffing season is officially here. While the skies are currently overcast, L.A.’s Wednesday forecast is mostly sunny with highs of 64 expected later today.
Winds could gust as high as 15 mph later in the afternoon, but not strong enough to warrant an advisory. Orange County will see partly sunny skies and highs in the mid 60s. The OC may get a bit of rain come midday today and there’s a chance of light showers throughout the region starting tomorrow through the rest of the week.
The Antelope Valley will see similar daytime temps in the low 60s but come nightfall, it’ll drop down to a chilly 37 degrees. In the Inland Empire, Riverside and San Bernardino counties will be mostly sunny with highs in the low 60s dipping to the mid to high 40s tonight. Winds could gust up to 20 mph in the area.
Today in history
In 1991, an intense winter storm brought wind gusts up to 62 mph in the San Fernando Valley. Over 60,000 people were without power from L.A. to San Diego.
Things to do

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.
