California – A soft marine haze has settled over Los Angeles, casting a muted glow on early travelers and late risers alike. The calm before December’s colder turn has begun, with patchy fog and light winds defining the next few mornings across Southern California.
According to the National Weather Service in Oxnard, areas of fog will linger through Saturday morning, especially in coastal valleys and low-lying basins. Visibility may briefly dip below a mile along I-10, I-5, and Highway 101 during the early commute hours. Drivers should allow extra time and use low beams when conditions thicken.
Afternoon warmth continues but gradually eases. Friday’s high should reach near 71°F under sunny skies, followed by a modest cool-down into the upper 60s by Sunday. Nights stay mild with lows near 50°F, though fog may redevelop before dawn.
Looking ahead, early December is shaping up to be cooler and possibly wetter. NOAA’s 6-to-10-day outlook shows below-normal temperatures building across much of the West, paired with increasing precipitation chances for California. That means a more active pattern could emerge in the first week of December — one that may finally bring a taste of winter to SoCal.
