California – Patchy fog hangs low over downtown Los Angeles this morning, softening skylines and slowing the early commute before a fast warmup takes over. Drivers along U.S. 101 and I-10 may notice reduced visibility through mid-morning, especially near low-lying stretches.
According to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard, fog clears before 10 a.m., giving way to sunshine and a high near 80 degrees. Light northeast winds shift southwest this afternoon. It’s a sharp pivot from the gray start to near-summer warmth.
Friday turns even hotter. Highs surge to 87 degrees under mostly sunny skies. That’s well above seasonal norms for late February and feels more like early summer than late winter. Stay hydrated if working outdoors and avoid peak heat during mid-afternoon.
The weekend begins warm. Saturday reaches 85 with patchy morning fog, then sunshine. By Sunday, temperatures ease back to 76 under clear skies. Nights cool into the upper 50s and low 60s, offering some relief.
March opens with quieter weather. Monday holds near 72 with mostly sunny skies. Midweek temperatures rebound into the mid to upper 70s. Longer-range outlooks suggest above-normal warmth continues across Southern California into next week.
No rain is in sight for Los Angeles, while storms track across the Gulf Coast and snow impacts parts of the Northern Plains. For now, dry air and steady warmth dominate the Southland.
