California wakes up to crisp air and bright sunshine, but temperatures are already climbing fast across Southern California. By late morning, the chill fades and a steady warm-up takes hold. Roads are dry now, yet patchy fog could briefly limit visibility in pockets before 10 a.m., especially near low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard, downtown Los Angeles sits near 56 degrees early this morning with light winds. Highs reach the upper 70s today, then push into the low 80s Wednesday and mid-80s Thursday. By Friday, temperatures surge close to 90 degrees as high pressure strengthens.
That warming trend will be felt from the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach. Expect bright skies through midweek, with calm mornings and light southwest breezes in the afternoon. Patchy fog may redevelop late at night into early morning Thursday and Friday, creating brief visibility drops along U.S. 101 and I-5 corridors. Plan extra time if commuting before mid-morning.
For now, no rain is expected. Dry air and rising heat signal early “Spring Warmth” vibes across Los Angeles County. To be fair, rapid temperature swings this time of year can create slick spots in colder inland valleys if moisture forms and refreezes before sunrise, though widespread freezing is not expected in central Los Angeles.
Looking ahead, above-normal temperatures expand into early next week. The 6–10 day outlook favors continued warmth across much of California, reinforcing a late-winter heat build. Enjoy the sunshine, hydrate during afternoon hours, and watch for fog during early drives. How warm is it in your neighborhood today?
