East Los Angeles, CA – Warm, dry days are returning to East L.A. this weekend, but early morning drivers should prepare for pockets of dense patchy fog—especially Saturday and Sunday before 10 a.m.—as fall settles in across Southern California.
According to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard, temperatures will climb from the mid-70s Thursday to near 80°F by Saturday afternoon. Calm morning conditions followed by a light breeze from the west will allow fog to settle into valleys and along major roadways like I-10 and US-101 early each morning. The fog will burn off by late morning, leaving mostly sunny skies through Sunday.
Saturday looks like the warmest day, with highs around 80°F and minimal wind. Sunday cools slightly, with highs in the upper 70s and another round of morning fog expected before 11 a.m. If you’re planning fall photos, pumpkin patch visits, or park time with the family, midday hours will offer the clearest skies and best light.
Evenings will stay seasonably mild with lows in the mid to upper 50s, ideal for outdoor dining or Halloween decorating. No rain is expected, and winds remain light, so fire weather concerns remain low for now.
Cooler temperatures and increased clouds could return by Tuesday, but for now, the weekend is shaping up dry and fall-friendly.
