Los Angeles drivers should prepare for slick commutes this weekend as drizzle and patchy thunderstorms move across East L.A. through Monday morning. The unsettled weather could impact major roads, including stretches of I-5 and I-10, during early travel hours.
According to the National Weather Service, light rain and a slight thunderstorm chance will linger into Saturday afternoon before skies begin to break. Temperatures will stay mild, with highs in the mid-70s, though damp roads and reduced visibility may complicate travel for motorists.
Saturday night brings another round of patchy drizzle, especially in low-lying neighborhoods and canyon routes. Sunday clears gradually, with highs near 76, but clouds will return by evening. Residents should keep umbrellas handy and use caution on wet pavement.
By Monday, skies turn mostly sunny, offering a drier and brighter start to the week. Morning commuters may still see clouds, but conditions improve quickly. Tuesday morning could bring patchy fog before sunshine dominates, signaling a transition into October’s typically drier pattern.
Cooler nights, with lows dipping into the low 60s, may prompt residents to adjust morning routines. Calmer winds and warming afternoons suggest a steady shift away from weekend dampness.
Warnings are limited, but officials urge drivers to allow extra travel time, particularly along I-5 corridors where drizzle can quickly slick surfaces.
