LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Golden light spills over the San Gabriel Mountains this morning, signaling another tranquil start to Southern California’s stretch of perfect November weather. The marine layer has thinned, skies are clear, and a mild offshore flow is set to lift temperatures back into the 80s by Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service in Oxnard, the L.A. Basin will stay dry and sunny through the weekend, with highs climbing from the low 70s today to the mid-80s by Saturday. Winds remain light, though some canyon and foothill gusts could briefly reach 15 mph. This late-fall warmup comes under clear skies, providing ideal conditions for outdoor activities, weekend travel, and early holiday decorating.
By Sunday, highs will hover near 83°F, with a slight cooling trend beginning early next week. Monday and Tuesday may bring patchy coastal fog and mild 70s — a sign that the region’s typical November rhythm is settling back in.
Travelers along I-5, I-10, and Highway 101 can expect clear visibility and dry pavement through the weekend. Air quality will remain moderate, but residents sensitive to dry, warm air may notice minor sinus or throat irritation. Fire danger remains low for most urban zones, though inland foothills should stay cautious with any outdoor burning or yard work.
Looking ahead, forecasters hint at a potential pattern shift mid-November that could bring cooler Pacific air and the first light rain chances to the Southland before Thanksgiving. For now, Los Angeles enjoys near-perfect fall warmth — a calm interlude before winter’s next move.
