Los Angeles drivers and residents should prepare for a blend of summer fog and sunshine this weekend, especially along I-110 and downtown routes. Patchy fog will slow visibility through late morning on Saturday, July 12, before the clouds clear and temperatures reach a warm 80°F. If you plan to travel early, use headlights and keep a safe distance from other vehicles.
According to the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard office, fog may linger before 11 a.m. Saturday and again Sunday morning, creating slick conditions and sudden drops in visibility on local freeways. Light winds from the southwest are expected, with gusts possible up to 15 mph by afternoon. These winds may affect high-profile vehicles on city roads and highways.
Afternoons will turn sunny, bringing classic July warmth with highs near 81°F for both Sunday and Monday. While morning clouds may return each day, the pattern favors outdoor activities after noon. Keep your devices charged, especially if you rely on weather or traffic alerts, and consider alternate routes if fog becomes dense along I-10 or I-5.
Looking ahead, the five-day outlook shows steady conditions with patchy fog each morning and mostly sunny afternoons through Tuesday, July 16. No rain is in sight, but coastal haze will remain a daily risk for morning commuters. Temperatures will dip slightly to 77°F on Tuesday before rebounding later next week.
