As the City of Angels embarks on the early days of May, Los Angelinos are looking ahead to a week replete with sunshine and the quintessential mild breezes that define Southern California's charm. According to the National Weather Service, folks in Los Angeles can expect a high near 66 degrees today with a west wind blowing 10 to 15 mph, and it could even hit gusts as high as 25 mph.

The forecast sees a steady climb in the mercury as we head into the week, hitting a high near 72 on Monday with light and variable winds turning into a southwest breeze in the afternoon.

Tuesday night, temperatures are expected to dip to around 54 degrees.

The sunshine doesn't look to take a break midweek either, with Wednesday projected to beam bright with a high near 76, followed by another starry evening and a low around 55.

As the week draws to a close, locals can anticipate a familiar pattern, Los Angeles will be graced with patches of morning fog on Friday. However, sunshine will break through and maintain highs in the mid-70s. Come nightfall, the fog returns alongside a mostly cloudy sky and a low of around 56 degrees.
