Los Angeles weather today brings patchy fog clearing to mostly sunny skies with a high near 76°F—ideal conditions for getting outside and enjoying spring.
That early-morning fog will linger until around 11 AM, particularly in the coastal zones and near the foothills, so give yourself a few extra minutes if you’re heading to Santa Monica, Malibu, or Griffith Park. Once it burns off, you’re looking at mostly sunny skies with light east winds at 0 to 10 mph (gusting to 20 mph). The National Weather Service notes this is part of a weak ridge of high pressure bringing offshore flow, which means warmer air is moving in—temperatures are running 4 to 8 degrees above normal for late April.
Perfect day for golf. If you’ve been thinking about hitting the links at Riviera Country Club or any of the public courses across the Valley and coastal areas, today’s your day. Grab a golf GPS watch to dial in your distances, and you’ll have clear visibility and calm winds through the afternoon.
Gameday alert: The Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs game is tonight at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium (first pitch at 7 PM PT). Weather will be perfect for the game—mostly clear skies, 54°F by game time, light winds. Grab Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support, and if you need tickets, check Get tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub. The Anaheim Ducks also host their First Round playoff game against the Oilers tonight at Honda Center (indoor, so weather won’t matter).
Tonight and Friday outlook: Expect partly cloudy skies tonight with lows around 54°F. Friday stays pleasant—mostly sunny, high 75°F, with a slightly stronger sea breeze keeping coastal areas a touch cooler. No rain expected through Friday.
Saturday changes the story. A 555 dam upper-level low swings in from San Luis Obispo County into Kern County, bringing a chance of occasional light rain from late morning through the evening. The National Weather Service forecasts a 43% chance of rain, with rainfall amounts under a quarter inch. You’ll want to have a compact travel umbrella handy if you’re planning outdoor activities. The high drops to 66°F.
Grilling weather right now. Fire up the grill today or Friday for steaks, burgers, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob. An instant-read meat thermometer and grill brush and scraper set will make your cookout flawless. If you’re planning a weekend gathering, now’s the time—Saturday’s rain might crimp outdoor plans.
For tonight’s dinner, consider grilling or a fresh meal with seasonal spring vegetables. You can order groceries on Amazon Fresh and have everything delivered to your door.
Next week: Conditions warm up again Sunday and Monday before another weak system brings light rain around Tuesday. Stay tuned.
