Los Angeles, CA — The air feels crisp across downtown Los Angeles this morning, and breath hangs briefly in the cool 39-degree air. Sidewalks are dry, but the chill is sharp enough to catch early commuters off guard.
As of mid-morning, temperatures sit near 39°F at Los Angeles Downtown (FHMC1), with light north winds around 5 mph. Humidity remains elevated near 87 percent, keeping the air cool and slightly damp. Skies stay mostly sunny today, but the cold start has slowed some drivers adjusting to brisk February air.
High pressure has settled in behind a departing system, bringing a temporary break from California’s active weather pattern. Expect sunshine to dominate through Saturday, with highs climbing to 68 degrees Saturday and into the low 70s by Sunday. Roads remain clear and dry across U.S. 101 and I-5, but the cold mornings can still create patchy slick spots in shaded areas.
Bundle up early. Layers will come off by midafternoon.
By Sunday, temperatures reach the low 70s under bright skies, offering early hints of spring warmth. Another system approaches Northern California late Sunday into early next week, with Central California possibly seeing changes by Tuesday or Wednesday.
For Southern California, the warming trend strengthens into Monday and beyond, with highs pushing the upper 70s by early next week. Longer-range signals point toward above-normal temperatures heading into the 6–10 day period, reinforcing those early spring vibes.
