It's going to get quite hotter this weekend with temperatures reaching into the 90s on Saturday in Coachella and on Sunday in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles: For today, expect sunny skies with highs in the mid to upper 60s at the beaches and mid 70s inland. Tonight will be in the low 50s. Saturday will start to get warmer with highs in the 70s and 80s and the Hollywood Hills specifically shooting up to the low to mid 80s. At night, expect low to upper 50s with the HIlls in the 60s. Then on Sunday, high 70s at the beaches, upper 80s inland and lower 90s in the Hollywood Hills. Temperatures will cool down as the week continues.
Coachella: Sunny skies will accompany the music festival, but will also bring those desert temperatures. Today, highs will reach the mid 80s, but tomorrow expect highs in the lower 90s followed by upper 90s on Sunday. Nighttime temperatures will be in the mid to upper 50s throughout the weekend.
