Yawn: If you like drama in your weather, the next week’s going to be pretty boring in Southern California – and that includes the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend.
We can look for daytime highs in the mid-70s with clear or partly cloudy skies in inland areas, with a few degrees cooler at local beaches and occasional fog.
Overnight lows will continue to be brisk and winter-like, with the mercury topping out in the high-50s and maybe 60.
But wait until the middle of next week, when temperatures will start edging up a bit and looking a little more summer-like. A week from now we may even see temperatures in the low to mid-80s and overnight lows in the mid-60s.
But that’s then and this is now, so for the time being, be happy with mild 74 degree-temperatures and bundle up at night.
