LOS ANGELES, CA —
The city wakes under a pale dawn, the air cool and damp from a passing sprinkle, the streets reflecting faint amber light. But the quiet chill now lingering across Southern California won’t last. As the state turns toward the Thanksgiving travel rush, Los Angeles is set to warm up, bringing back bright skies and calm winds after a brief cool spell.
The National Weather Service in Oxnard notes a small 20% chance of light showers early today before drier air sweeps in from the north. Skies clear quickly through the afternoon with highs near 71°F, setting up a stretch of classic Southern California weather — mild, sunny, and comfortable — just as holiday travelers begin hitting the roads and airports.
Sunday continues the trend with highs near 68°F, while Monday marks a slight dip to the mid-60s as a weak onshore breeze returns. The rest of the week turns warm again, with highs rebounding into the low 70s by Tuesday and Wednesday — ideal for travelers heading north along I-5 or inland toward Palm Springs.
Thanksgiving Day is shaping up to be sunny and seasonable, with highs near 73°F — perfect for outdoor gatherings or early holiday shopping plans. Cooler overnight lows in the upper 40s and low 50s will add a hint of crisp November air.
