The long Thanksgiving weekend promises to bring some classic Southern California comfortable weather to turkey and non-turkey eaters alike.
It'll be mostly sunny and warm in most areas through Sunday.
Beachgoers should be cautious, though. On Thursday, there's a high surf advisory in effect for 5 miles on either side of Ventura Harbor through 6 p.m., and rip currents were a possibility there and in Los Angeles County.
Surf in the Ventura area will be 6 to 8 feet in height, with local sets to 10 feet, according to the National Weather Service, which issued the advisory.
"Surf and swell conditions could be hazardous to anyone entering the water today … with dangerous rip current potential," the service stated.
Very strong currents with rip current potential area expected in LA County, where the service warned of dangerous swimming conditions.
Meanwhile, a morning dense fog advisory for coastal parts of Southern California expired at 9 a.m. and low clouds were clearing in the morning.
