Dense fog blankets coastal areas and western valleys in Southern California this morning, reducing visibility for early commuters. The National Weather Service advises caution as conditions slowly improve. By midday, offshore breezes will clear the fog, bringing sunny skies and warm temperatures reaching the mid-70s to low-80s through Saturday.
A weather shift begins Sunday with cooler temperatures and the return of coastal clouds. By Monday, a trough of low pressure will trigger a Santa Ana wind event, with gusts up to 50 mph possible in foothills and mountain passes. Winds will ease by midweek, accompanied by clear skies and warming.
Looking ahead, forecasters are watching potential storms north of the Bay Area next weekend, though Southern California remains dry.
