Los Angeles, Calif. – Drivers in East L.A. could face slow commutes early Wednesday as patchy fog spreads across roadways, including stretches of I-5. Visibility may drop sharply before skies clear, ushering in the first sunny hours of October with warming temperatures.
According to the National Weather Service in Oxnard, the fog will lift by late morning, giving way to sunshine and highs near 78 degrees. Calm morning winds will shift southwest at 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Officials urge commuters to allow extra time, use headlights in reduced visibility, and avoid sudden lane changes.
Tuesday will bring increasing clouds before skies gradually clear. Conditions remain mild through midweek, but drier air and stronger sun will mark the start of October. By Thursday, highs near 80 degrees are expected across East L.A., Pasadena, and Glendale, with clear skies lasting into the weekend.
Residents planning outdoor activities should take advantage of the warm, stable weather after Wednesday morning fog clears. Beachgoers will find pleasant afternoons but should prepare for cooler mornings. Those traveling early Wednesday should monitor conditions along freeways, particularly I-5 and I-10, where dense fog pockets often develop.
The fall stretch ahead looks settled and warm, though mornings may still bring isolated fog near coastal valleys. Officials remind residents to stay alert for changing conditions during the morning drive.
Sunny skies dominate the forecast heading into the weekend, giving Los Angeles a calm and seasonably warm start to October.
