Los Angeles, California – Patchy morning fog could cause reduced visibility across East L.A. beginning early Thursday, just as daytime highs push into the low 80s through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Oxnard, fog is expected each morning from Thursday through Saturday, with clearer skies by late morning and afternoon temperatures climbing to 81°F Thursday and 87°F by Friday. Light southwest winds will accompany the warm-up, with slightly cooler conditions returning early next week.
Drivers in Los Angeles County—including neighborhoods like Boyle Heights, El Sereno, and Montebello—should watch for foggy stretches during early commutes, especially before 11 a.m. Caltrans recommends slowing down and using low beams in fog-prone zones, including stretches of the 5, 10, and 710 freeways.
The patchy fog pattern follows a stretch of cooler weather but signals the return of early summer heat, particularly for inland areas. Overnight lows will hover in the upper 50s to low 60s, offering some relief from daytime warmth.
Sunny, dry conditions are expected to continue into next week, though fog may linger in the early mornings. Another update is expected by Friday if marine layer conditions intensify.
