Hail to the sun: LA weather to warm your cold, wet heart

There will be wind this weekend — but also sun — as the Los Angeles area trades in its long-neglected puffer coat and rain boots for a flip-flop, so to speak.
Did part of the region experience hail last week? Yes. Is it now experiencing above average temperatures? Also yes.
Tom Fischer, a weather specialist with the National Weather Service, told KPCC that typical temps this time of year hover around the upper 60s. He expects above-normal temperatures lasting from Friday through Tuesday — about 10 degrees above normal in some areas.
The inevitable cool-down is not expected to chill quite so severely next week, and there’s a possibility of light rain between Thursday and Saturday.

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.
