California – Low clouds hang over downtown Los Angeles, softening the skyline as a slow-building weather shift begins to take hold.
Skies gradually clear through midday, offering a brief break with highs climbing into the mid-70s. Streets dry out for now, but the pattern is already changing.
According to the National Weather Service, rain chances begin increasing late in the day, especially after sunset, with a 40% chance developing across Los Angeles and surrounding areas. That initial wave remains light, but it signals a wetter stretch ahead.
By Friday night, conditions turn more unsettled. Expect spotty rain developing after dark, especially across East L.A., Pasadena, and along the I-10 corridor. Roads could turn slick quickly, so plan extra travel time.
Saturday keeps the system nearby. While daytime rain chances stay lower near 20%, clouds thicken and conditions feel cooler. Highs drop into the upper 60s, a noticeable change from earlier warmth.
The real impact arrives Saturday night into Sunday. Rain becomes more widespread, with a 70% chance of steady showers overnight and lingering into Sunday. Expect wet pavement, reduced visibility, and slower traffic on major routes including I-405 and U.S. 101.
Keep umbrellas ready and avoid unnecessary late-night travel during heavier rain periods.
Sunday remains damp with scattered showers and highs in the mid-60s. Conditions begin improving into early next week as drier air returns.
