Los Angeles, CA – Southern California residents can expect a stretch of pleasant fall weather this week as clear skies and mild daytime highs dominate the forecast. Patchy fog may slow early commutes through Tuesday morning, but forecasters say sunshine returns by midweek—just in time for Thursday’s outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles, temperatures will climb near 78°F by Thursday, October 9, under bright, sunny skies. Light winds and dry air will make for excellent driving conditions on major routes including I-10, US-101, and I-5, with no major weather hazards anticipated. Morning fog may briefly limit visibility in lower valleys, so drivers should use headlights and allow extra travel time before 10 a.m.
By Friday and into the Columbus Day weekend, forecasters expect continued sunshine with highs in the upper 70s and lows dipping to the upper 50s. These calm, mild days will offer ideal conditions for pumpkin patch trips, park leaf viewing, and Halloween decorating.
The extended forecast shows no sign of rain through early next week. Saturday and Sunday will remain sunny, with highs from 74°F to 75°F and light coastal breezes.
