WTF Weather?! We Could Get Some Rain!

Hold on to your hats umbrellas: The Southland could get some summer showers over the next few days.
Once again, we can blame Fabio (no, not that Fabio), the storm now considered a tropical depression for the threat of showers and thunderstorms in SoCal today.
According to the National Weather Service today we can expect partly sunny skies in L.A. with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Tonight, that chance bumps up to 30 percent.
Looks like we're going to wake up to foggy mornings for the next few days, but our weekend weather should be mostly sunny, with temps in the palatable low 80s at the civic center, low 70s in Santa Monica, and the mid- to upper 90s in the San Fernando Valley.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
