Los Angeles, Calif. – Low clouds and patches of fog are hanging over parts of Los Angeles this morning, softening the skyline before sunshine gradually breaks through. Drivers may encounter changing visibility during the morning commute, but brighter skies and warm summer temperatures are on the way through early next week.
Southern California will experience its familiar cycle of morning marine clouds followed by afternoon sunshine during the next several days. While no significant storms are expected, patchy fog could briefly slow travel before temperatures climb into the mid-80s each afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard, patchy fog will linger through the morning before gradual clearing sends temperatures to around 85 degrees today. Similar conditions continue Sunday and Monday, with highs of 84 to 85 degrees, followed by 86 degrees Tuesday under sunny skies.
Motorists using Interstate 5, US-101, Interstate 10, and State Route 110 should remain alert for locally reduced visibility during the morning hours, especially in lower elevations and areas closer to the marine layer. Conditions improve steadily by late morning as sunshine returns. If you’re traveling early, allow extra following distance until visibility improves.
The weather pattern remains quiet through Tuesday with mostly dry conditions, light southwest winds, and comfortable evenings in the upper 60s. While much of the western United States continues to deal with monsoonal thunderstorms farther inland, the Los Angeles Basin stays under a more stable marine influence. No severe weather or thunderstorm threat is expected for the metro area during this period.
Looking farther ahead, temperatures gradually edge upward into the upper 80s by the middle and latter part of next week as sunshine becomes more dominant after the morning clouds fade.
