California – Low clouds and patchy fog are already clinging to Los Angeles streets this morning, cutting visibility and slowing drivers along I-5 and US-101 as the commute ramps up. Some areas are seeing visibility dip below a mile, especially in East L.A. and downtown corridors, creating slick pavement and sudden slowdowns.
According to the National Weather Service, fog will linger through about 11 a.m. before gradual clearing pushes in from the coast. Temperatures will climb to near 79°F later today, with light winds shifting southwest this afternoon. Drivers should allow extra time and use low beams during the morning hours.
Conditions improve steadily into Thursday, but the day begins with another round of patchy fog. By afternoon, skies clear and highs rise to near 83°F. That warming trend accelerates into Friday, when much of Los Angeles reaches 88°F under full sun. الحرارة builds quickly, increasing heat exposure for outdoor workers and early spring events.
The broader pattern shows strong high pressure expanding across California, part of a larger heat surge pushing into the Plains and Midwest. For Southern California, that means stable air, limited clouds, and dry conditions through the weekend.
Saturday stays partly sunny with highs in the mid-80s, while Sunday cools slightly into the low 80s with continued sunshine. Morning fog remains a daily factor, especially near highways and low-lying neighborhoods.
Plan ahead for changing visibility each morning, and prepare for warmer afternoons by Friday. Keep water handy and avoid peak heat during mid-afternoon hours.
