Los Angeles weather today is partly sunny with a high near 66°F and a slight chance of rain showers after 5 PM, making it one of those rare spring days when you’ll want to keep an umbrella handy.
That upper-level low pressure system sitting southwest of Monterey Bay is slowly drifting southeast toward San Luis Obispo County, and while it’s not a dynamic storm, it’s bringing enough moisture to give us a 20–30 percent chance of light showers—especially south of Point Conception and over the mountains. The National Weather Service expects rainfall amounts mostly under a tenth of an inch, so we’re talking light drizzle rather than downpours. The best window for any rain activity is after 5 PM through early Tuesday morning.
Temperatures today will feel more like January than May, with highs only in the mid-60s across the coast and valleys—about 10 to 15 degrees below normal. Overnight lows drop to around 54°F with mostly cloudy skies and light southwest winds (0 to 15 mph). If you’re heading to Angel Stadium for the Los Angeles Angels vs. Chicago White Sox game on Tuesday, expect cool, mostly sunny conditions with a high near 66°F and just a 20 percent chance of precipitation—perfect for grabbing a Los Angeles Angels jersey or Los Angeles Angels fitted cap and settling in for an afternoon game.

For today’s activities: skip the lawn mowing—the damp ground and cool temps aren’t ideal. If you’re planning to grill or smoke a tri-tip, hold off until Wednesday when conditions warm and dry out. Indoor plans are your safest bet—catch the Netflix Is A Joke Presents: Shane Gillis & Friends show at the Hollywood Bowl tonight, or enjoy a family game night indoors with a family card game set.
If you’re dealing with spring allergies triggered by marine layer moisture and shifting air masses, consider stocking up on allergy relief nasal spray or eye drops for allergy itch relief to get through the next couple of days.
For dinner tonight, a warm pasta or stir-fry pairs perfectly with this cool, damp weather. You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered to your door—grab fresh vegetables, olive oil, and your favorite pasta or rice to get started.
Looking ahead: Tuesday stays mostly sunny and cool (high 66°F), then we warm significantly Wednesday through the weekend, with highs approaching the upper 70s to low 80s by Friday. No rain is expected after Tuesday morning, so outdoor plans improve dramatically mid-week.
