The coming days are not only expected to be warmer but some record high temperatures might be broken. NBC San Diego notes a heat advisory for inland valleys on Thursday, with temperatures estimated to reach between 95 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Paired with the offshore winds, these high temperatures have the possibility to break previous records in the county.
However, cooler temperatures are predicted to return over the weekend. An onshore flow is expected, and by early next week, a cold front should sweep across the county potentially bringing some showers, according to NBC San Diego.
