Latest National Weather Service and NOAA model runs point to a moderate daily high in Los Angeles driven by a persistent marine layer and steady onshore flow that limits afternoon warming. This setup keeps coastal and downtown stations in the upper 60s to low 70s, consistent with the market’s tight clustering around 68–71 °F. Subtle differences among those bins hinge on how much boundary-layer mixing occurs by peak heating and whether any weak offshore wind component develops overnight. May climatology shows an average high near 74 °F, but the current pattern favors cooler readings typical of late-spring marine influence. Final readings from official stations will resolve the market after sunset on May 18.
