East Los Angeles, California – Morning commuters in East L.A. are waking up to dense patchy fog through midweek, with limited visibility expected until 11 a.m. each day and temperatures rapidly warming to near 90°F by Thursday. Drivers should plan for slower traffic and use caution during early hours, especially along the I-5 and I-710 corridors.
According to the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard office, the fog will persist through Wednesday morning, followed by a steady pattern of mostly sunny afternoons and gradually rising temperatures. Patchy dense fog is forecast to return each night after 11 p.m., with overnight lows in the low 60s across East L.A., Boyle Heights, and Monterey Park.
By midweek, expect the marine layer to clear quickly, bringing highs of 88°F on Tuesday and up to 90°F on Thursday. Winds will remain light but may become gusty near the afternoon as the fog dissipates. The combination of foggy mornings and quick warming increases the risk of rapid road surface changes—drivers are urged to keep headlights on and avoid sudden lane changes.
Residents should allow extra travel time in the morning and consider delaying outdoor activities until late morning, when conditions become sunny and warm. This stretch marks one of the warmest starts to July since 2021.
The patchy fog trend is expected to ease by Friday, but another round of marine layer clouds could return over the weekend. More advisories are possible if fog becomes locally dense or if heat builds further.
