LOS ANGELES, California – A silver-gray blanket of fog rests over the city this morning, softening skyline lights and quieting the freeways. The haze drifts low through the valleys, giving way later to another warm, golden stretch of November sun. This gentle morning calm will fade quickly as temperatures climb — a reminder that fall in Southern California often feels more like midsummer.
The National Weather Service says patchy fog will linger across the L.A. Basin through midmorning before clearing to bright skies. Highs will reach around 80°F today, building into the upper 80s to near 90°F by Sunday. Saturday stays dry and sunny, offering perfect conditions for outdoor events, but residents should prepare for light coastal haze and gusty breezes in canyon areas by afternoon.
Drivers should use caution early, especially along I-5, I-10, and U.S. 101, where visibility could briefly dip below a quarter mile. Once the fog burns off, the air will stay clear and calm through early next week — an excellent stretch for Veterans Day parades or early holiday travel plans.
Humidity will remain moderate, and no rain is expected through midweek. However, forecasters are watching long-range models that hint at a cooler Pacific system moving toward California later next weekend, possibly bringing the season’s first measurable rain.
For now, it’s a quintessential Southern California November weekend — fog at dawn, heat by noon, and glowing sunsets over dry hillsides. Stay hydrated, use sun protection, and keep an eye on air quality if winds shift inland.
