Los Angeles, CA – A blanket of dense fog clings to the L.A. Basin this early morning, muting city lights and slowing the Monday commute. The damp chill won’t last long — by late morning, sunshine will burn through the haze, and temperatures will climb into the mid-80s, bringing a taste of late fall warmth before a noticeable shift later in the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Oxnard, Veterans Day on Tuesday will be mostly sunny and calm, with highs near 82°F — near-perfect for parades, outdoor ceremonies, and local events across Southern California. The warm, dry air continues through midweek before a Pacific front moves in Wednesday night, increasing clouds and introducing the first real chance of measurable rain in nearly two weeks.
Showers become likely Thursday, especially across coastal and valley communities, with cooler highs in the mid-60s. Localized downpours and breezy conditions could briefly slow traffic along Interstates 5 and 10. Rain chances taper Friday as the system moves east, leaving behind a cooler and partly sunny weekend — highs near 67°F expected Saturday.
The late-week pattern marks a seasonal “reset” for Southern California, with forecasters noting that a few more systems may follow before Thanksgiving. After this week’s rain, cooler nights and patchy fog are likely to return — a reminder that L.A.’s mild November can still bring a few surprises.
