Los Angeles is waking up to patchy coastal fog this Thursday morning — a classic June Gloom start. The National Weather Service expects the fog to lift by around 11 AM, giving way to partly sunny skies and a mild high near 79°F with light south-southwest winds 0 to 10 mph.
Today’s Setup
Marine layer clouds draped over the coast and coastal valleys overnight will linger through the morning. NWS forecasters note clearing will be slower than normal today, and a few beach spots — think Santa Monica and Malibu — could stay socked in all day. Griffith Park and Runyon Canyon should see sunshine by early afternoon. An upper low pushing south from the Pacific Northwest is driving stronger-than-usual onshore flow, and the marine layer is forecast to arrive back earlier than normal each evening. Overnight low dips to a comfortable 64°F with fog returning after 11 PM.
Tonight: USA vs. Turkey at SoFi Stadium
Tonight is enormous for LA soccer fans. World Cup Match 59 (Group D): USA vs. Turkey kicks off at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. By game time, conditions will be mild — mostly cloudy skies, temps easing into the low-to-mid 70s, and no fog expected while the action is on. A light jacket for the second half is all you need. Get tickets on SeatGeek if you’re still hunting for seats.
Best Window To Be Outside
Your sweet spot today is 11 AM to 4 PM. Once the marine layer burns off, it’s a solid window for a hike at Runyon Canyon, a walk along the Strand in Manhattan Beach, or a patio lunch in Silver Lake. Head out early — the clouds push back in ahead of schedule this week. If you’re making a beach afternoon of it, quick dry swim trunks are a smart grab, and the 2-Person Intex Floating Lounge with Cooler for just $24 is a fantastic deal for a lazy float.
Weekend Events
The weekend is absolutely stacked. On Saturday, June 27, the Los Angeles Angels host the Athletics at Angel Stadium under cool, partly cloudy skies — pick up a Los Angeles Angels jersey before you head to Anaheim. Also Saturday: A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb World Tour rolls into the Kia Forum, and the 5 Seconds of Summer: EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour plays Honda Center in Anaheim. Evening temps will be in the mid-60s with fog rolling in — an A$AP Rocky hoodie is a practical and on-brand call for the Forum crowd. Find tickets on StubHub. Friday night (June 26), Palomazo Norteño: Clase Maestra Tour hits the Kia Forum. The weekend closes strong with the Don Toliver: Octane Tour at Crypto.com Arena (June 28) and the ROSALÍA: LUX TOUR 2026 at the Kia Forum (June 29).
Dinner Tonight
A quick pasta or stir-fry is perfect for a cool, foggy Thursday evening — simple, satisfying, and on the table in under 30 minutes while the marine layer rolls back in off the water. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
June Gloom is not going anywhere. The National Weather Service says this pattern holds through at least July 1 as a series of upper lows rotate through the Pacific Northwest. Friday looks nearly identical to today — patchy morning fog, then mostly sunny, high near 78°F. Temperatures drop 1-2 degrees each day through the weekend, with even inland San Fernando Valley locations slipping into the low 70s by Saturday. Coastal areas will run 3-6 degrees below normal; valleys 6-12 degrees below. Plan outdoor activities in that midday window and keep a layer handy for evenings all week.
