Los Angeles starts Saturday under patchy fog, but the National Weather Service forecasts mostly sunny skies by midday with a high near 82°F — a gorgeous June day once the marine layer does its thing and burns off.
Today’s Setup
Classic June Gloom greets the morning. The National Weather Service expects fog to thin and lift by around 11 AM PT, first inland toward the San Fernando Valley and around Griffith Park, then across the LA Basin. Coastal neighborhoods like Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach may hold onto overcast skies a bit longer — but the afternoon shapes up beautifully for the whole region. Southwest winds stay light at 0 to 10 mph, keeping things breezy and comfortable. Overnight, fog returns ahead of Sunday with a low near 63°F.
Best Window To Be Outside
Your sweet spot is late morning through early evening. After that marine layer clears, LA delivers some of its best weather of the year. Great day for a hike up Runyon Canyon, a walk through Griffith Observatory trails, or a beach afternoon once the coast clears. Inland spots in the 818 or San Gabriel Valley could push into the mid-to-upper 80s by mid-afternoon — pack an insulated water bottle and consider a portable misting fan for extended time in the sun.
Heat Risk
No heat advisories are in effect today. That said, the National Weather Service notes interior valleys can run well into the 80s, and forecasters expect a minor warm-up of 2 to 5 degrees for inland areas early next week. Those sensitive to heat should front-load outdoor plans to the morning hours. Check the Los Angeles weather forecast before heading out Monday or Tuesday.
Big Weekend Events
Tonight is stacked. RUSH: Fifty Something rocks the Kia Forum under comfortable evening conditions — grab a RUSH t-shirt and enjoy the walk in. Also tonight, Shakira’s LAS MUJERES YA NO LLORAN WORLD TOUR takes over the Intuit Dome in Inglewood — Get tickets on SeatGeek if you still need them. The FIFA Fan Festival is also happening at the LA Memorial Coliseum today.
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Angels host the Tampa Bay Rays at Angel Stadium — with a high near 80°F and mostly sunny skies after the fog clears, it’s about as good as a ballpark afternoon gets. A Los Angeles Angels jersey keeps you repping the team in style, and a Los Angeles Angels fitted cap gives you some shade in the bleachers. Find tickets on StubHub for last-minute seats.
Looking ahead, the Ariana Grande — The Eternal Sunshine Tour comes to the Kia Forum on Wednesday, June 17. Snag an Ariana Grande hoodie — evenings will still dip into the low 60s by then.
Dinner Tonight
Clear skies and mild temps make patio dining the move tonight. A simple pasta dish or a fresh stir-fry keeps it light and summery. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered to your door in time for dinner. Want to fire up the backyard instead? A Father’s Day grilling set could not ask for better weather — Dad will notice.
Next Few Days
Sunday mirrors today: patchy fog before 11 AM, then mostly sunny with a high near 80°F and light south-southwest winds at 0 to 10 mph. A minor warm-up arrives inland early next week — 2 to 5 degrees above what we see this weekend — while the coast stays near normal.
