Los Angeles wakes up to patchy fog this Saturday morning, but skies clear to mostly sunny with a high near 85°F by afternoon — a great day to get outside, play a round of golf, or head to the beach before temps settle into a comfortable 66°F overnight.
Today’s Setup
Friday was a scorcher: LAX hit a preliminary record high of 86°F, breaking the old mark of 85 set back in 2003, according to the National Weather Service. The marine layer is back tonight and tomorrow morning, and forecasters say there’s roughly a 30% chance stratus pushes as far inland as Burbank in the San Fernando Valley before sunrise. Expect that fog to burn off by around 11 a.m. both today and Sunday.
Best Window To Be Outside
Once the fog clears late morning, south winds stay light at 5 to 10 mph through the afternoon — comfortable for the coast, Griffith Park, and Runyon Canyon hikers alike. If you’re heading up toward the Antelope Valley or nearby foothills, know that sub-advisory southwest winds of 25 to 40 mph are expected each afternoon and evening, with gusts near 45 mph possible around Lake Palmdale.
Rain, Wind & Storm Risk
Rain chances stay essentially at zero for the LA basin today. On Sunday afternoon, the NWS notes a small 5-10% chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm over the high terrain of LA and Ventura counties, though most of that activity stays east of us. Weakening Tropical Storm Elida will push extra moisture toward the Central Coast, and a slight excessive rainfall risk from the Weather Prediction Center is focused well east, over Arizona and the Four Corners — not a concern here today.
Weekend Games, Concerts & Gear
It’s a big night around town: Fuerza Regida brings their This Is Our Dream Stadium Tour to Dodger Stadium, Evanescence headlines Kia Forum with Spiritbox and Nova Twins, and Monster Jam roars into Crypto.com Arena — all under clear, mild evening skies. Grab a Fuerza Regida t-shirt for the show and Get tickets on SeatGeek before you head out. Sunday, the Los Angeles Angels host the Detroit Tigers at Angel Stadium with sunny, 84°F first-pitch weather and light wind — ideal tailgating conditions. Suit up in a Los Angeles Angels jersey and Los Angeles Angels fitted cap. Teeing off? Bring a golf glove men leather for grip in the afternoon sun, and pack a Stanley tumbler 40oz to stay hydrated at the beach or on the course.
Dinner Tonight & Next Few Days
With clear skies and calm winds, tonight’s a perfect grilling night — burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob all work great. An instant-read meat thermometer keeps everything cooked just right, and a grill brush and scraper set makes cleanup painless. Want to switch things up? Try this tri-tip smoking guide for a new take on backyard barbecue. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door. Looking ahead, expect the same pattern of morning fog and sunny mid-80s highs through Monday, with a warming trend building by midweek as high pressure strengthens overhead.
