Los Angeles, CA – A gray veil of fog hangs low over Los Angeles this morning, swallowing skylines and headlights alike. From the beaches to downtown, drivers are navigating through near-zero visibility as dense fog grips the Southland.
According to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard, a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m. PST across Los Angeles County Beaches and Inland Coast, including Hollywood, Torrance, Santa Monica, and Long Beach. Visibility has dropped below a quarter-mile in several locations, creating hazardous driving conditions on I-10, I-405, and Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).
Residents heading out early are urged to slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. The fog is expected to lift gradually through mid-morning as light winds develop, giving way to mostly sunny skies by midday. Temperatures will rebound into the low 70s this afternoon under calm, dry air.
The weekend looks pleasant — sunny Saturday and Sunday with highs near 70°F and cool nights around 50°F. Patchy coastal fog could return late each night, particularly along the beaches, but no rain or strong winds are expected through early next week.
This calm stretch is a brief break before early December weather patterns turn more active across the West. National models hint at a wetter setup developing by midweek, possibly bringing rain chances back to Southern California by Thursday.
