As the San Diego region rides the wave of a typically mild weather pattern, residents can expect "a little cooler" temperatures through Sunday, followed by a slow burn heading into next week, the National Weather Service in San Diego reports. The seaside city and its surrounding deserts will see the thermostat move "a few degrees above average at the coast to as much as 8 to 12 degrees above average for the deserts" as we cruise into Wednesday and Thursday. According to the forecast discussion, the marine layer is also set to play peek-a-boo, fluctuating between 2000 and 2500 feet, before deciding to become a "little shallower" mid-next week.
For those planning to spend their weekend in areas like the Inland Empire or the scorching lower deserts, prepare to experience temperatures in "the upper 70s to mid 80s" and "the upper 90s to 103" respectively. But it's not only about the heat—areas including the mountains to the deserts should be on the lookout for "gusty southwest to west winds" that could charge up to "40 to 50 mph in the northern Coachella Valley below the San Gorgonio Pass," the National Weather Service cautions.
Monday will slightly warm up before things start to heat up come Tuesday. As high pressure muscles its way over the western states, even the sun-shy marine clouds will continue to "spread into portions of the valleys," a pattern expected to persist through Thursday, per NWS.
Mariners taking to the seas will catch a break as the forecast promises smooth sailing with "no hazardous marine conditions" anticipated through Tuesday. And though the skies above may be clear, Skywarn spotters are encouraged to keep an eagle eye out for any "significant weather conditions" to report, ensuring safe skies for all.
