Los Angeles is waking up to light rain overnight with a 60% chance of precipitation, but don’t let that dampen your weekend plans—Sunday’s looking great for getting outside.
Here’s what’s coming: A weak low-pressure system is moving through Southern California tonight, bringing scattered showers mainly before sunrise. The National Weather Service expects minimal rainfall amounts (less than a tenth of an inch), so this won’t be a soaker. Temperatures will dip to around 50°F with light west-southwest winds around 5 mph. If you’re heading to the MJ (Touring) show at Hollywood Pantages Theatre tonight, grab a compact travel umbrella—it’s compact enough to fit in a bag and won’t take up much space.
Sunday’s the real winner. After that early morning drizzle clears out (mostly by 11 AM), expect mostly sunny skies with a high near 66°F. Perfect for hiking Runyon Canyon or Griffith Park, or catching some rays at Santa Monica Beach. Winds will be light to moderate (5–15 mph with gusts to 25 mph), so it’s ideal for outdoor activities across the Valley and coast.
If you’ve got tickets to the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Miami Marlins at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium on Monday, you’re in luck—that game falls on one of the best days of the forecast. Monday will be sunny with highs near 67°F and minimal wind. Grab Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support, and snag Get tickets on SeatGeek if you’re still looking for seats.
For tonight’s indoor hangouts, this is prime comfort-food weather. Whip up a slow cooker chili or beef stew—set a programmable slow cooker in the morning and come home to a warm meal. If you’re feeling fancier, an enameled cast iron Dutch oven is perfect for a hearty pot of soup. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Temperatures are running 6–12 degrees below normal through Monday, so layer up if you’re heading out early Sunday. By Tuesday, we’ll warm back into the low 70s with clear, typical spring Southern California weather. The National Weather Service is tracking another weak system possible late Wednesday, but confidence remains low and impacts should be minimal.
Enjoy the clearing skies and pleasant temperatures—this is the kind of weekend that reminds us why we love LA.
