Los Angeles, CA – The Southern California region is expected to remain warm, sunny, and mostly dry through the week of October 11–17, according to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center’s 8–14 Day Outlook released October 3.
NOAA forecasters show a 60–70% probability of above-normal temperatures across Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, and coastal Orange County, while rainfall is expected to remain below average across much of the area.
High pressure anchored over the Southwest will keep skies clear and humidity low. Forecasters say offshore flow could strengthen at times, bringing occasional Santa Ana winds—especially through mountain passes and foothill communities in Riverside and Ventura Counties. These winds may briefly elevate fire weather concerns in drier inland zones.
Daytime highs are forecast to reach the mid-80s to low 90s inland and the 70s to low 80s along the coast, with mild evenings and clear skies prevailing. The pattern should persist into mid-October before potential changes later in the month bring cooler temperatures and modest rain chances.
Overall, this continues Southern California’s trend of late-season warmth and dryness, typical of early fall.
