Los Angeles drivers could face morning patchy fog Wednesday before clear skies push temperatures back into the mid-80s by afternoon. The National Weather Service urges commuters to plan for reduced visibility early, especially on stretches of I-10 and I-5.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday’s high will reach near 86 degrees, with light southwest winds gusting to 15 mph. Conditions will shift after sunset as patchy fog redevelops, dropping overnight lows into the mid-60s.
By Thursday morning, fog is expected again before another round of sunshine drives highs near 86. The trend continues Friday with morning fog clearing to highs in the upper 80s, making the end of the workweek warmer and drier. Residents should prepare for hotter afternoons and consider limiting outdoor activity during peak heat hours.
Labor Day weekend looks mostly sunny with highs near 88 each day, perfect for outdoor events but potentially uncomfortable for vulnerable groups. Stay hydrated, avoid leaving pets or children in cars, and check cooling centers if necessary.
Calm nighttime conditions will keep lows around the upper 60s through the weekend, with no significant rain in sight. Travelers should remain cautious during morning fog hours but can expect mostly clear skies and safe road conditions later in the day.
The heat dome holding steady over Southern California shows no signs of breaking until early next week. More advisories could be issued if temperatures climb further or if fog thickens during morning commutes.
