The City of Angels is looking at a somewhat murky forecast, with patches of fog expected to roll in and out over the next week, but don't let that dampen your spirits if you're planning a stroll down Sunset Boulevard or a day out in Venice Beach. According to the National Weather Service, Angelenos should anticipate sporadic fog before the late morning hours, clearing skies in the afternoons, and the return of the fog late in the evenings.

The dance of the clouds and sun will seemingly waltz through L.A.'s sky, with today's high hovering around a pleasant 73 degrees and a mild westerly breeze knitting into the afternoon, the winds making their own paths, slow and steady at about 5 mph, come the evening, the city will once again find itself ensconced in increasing clouds, and temperatures dipping gently to a low of 54, while the winds quiet down, bringing in the hazy guest on soft soles after 11 p.m.

The weekend, however, promises a ray of hope with slightly warmer temperatures, Saturday peaking at 73 degrees and Sunday warming up further to a comfortable 78 degrees, basking in mostly sunny skies, once the early fog lifts. It's a pattern mirrored on Monday, promising a high of 77 and more sunshine to kick off the week, while Tuesday and Wednesday's highs take a subtle dip back to 74 degrees, the sun playing peekaboo with sheets of fog each day, according to the forecast.

Evenings throughout the week are set to replicate a familiar scene; with fog after 11 p.m., and a comforting consistency in the lows—fluctuating minimally from 54 to 59 degrees, it's like the night is holding the city in a soft embrace, in warmth that promises the touch of summer's approach but still whispers of spring's cautious hold.
