Los Angeles, California – Patchy fog will return to Los Angeles early Thursday, July 17th, bringing low visibility to area roads—including I-10 and I-5—before sunshine dominates by midday. Residents planning a morning commute or heading out for errands should use extra caution, especially near coastal zones and low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard office, fog will linger through late morning Thursday, with temperatures reaching a comfortable 79°F after the clouds clear. Southwest winds will remain light, but reduced visibility may affect drivers on major routes like the 405 and local surface streets during the early rush. Conditions will improve quickly by noon as skies become sunny across the city.
Friday and Saturday will continue the summer trend, with patchy morning fog before warm, mostly sunny afternoons. Highs climb to 80°F by Friday and could reach 81°F over the weekend. Expect a similar pattern through Monday, as coastal clouds break for sun and mild summer breezes.
Heading into the weekend, pack patience if traveling early—morning fog could slow traffic. For outdoor plans, midday through evening looks ideal for beaches and parks. Charge your devices, allow extra travel time, and stay alert in reduced visibility zones.
Warnings for fog and cooler mornings remain in effect into Saturday, but no major storms or heatwaves are expected in the next five days. Stay tuned for updates as the National Weather Service will issue advisories if conditions change.
