According to the National Weather Service, San Diego residents won't see much of a shake-up in this week's weather. The forecast for the coming days indicates temperatures will hover a few degrees above or below seasonal averages, depending on whether you're inland or hitting the coast. Inland areas like the deserts will continue to bake in the high 90s to low 100s, while coastal regions enjoy slightly cooler temps. This pattern doesn't seem to budge as we enter mid-week.
Gusty winds, however, will whip through mountainous regions and desert landscapes later in the day, reaching speeds of about 25 to 35 mph. These winds will make themselves most known during the late afternoon through the evening, potentially affecting visibility on desert slopes, as mentioned in an Area Forecast Discussion by the National Weather Service San Diego, CA. Clear skies are generally expected elsewhere, providing little to no disruption to daily life — just your standard sunny southern California disposition.
The marine layer will loom around 2,500 feet deep for those closer to the shore, causing low morning and night clouds to creep into coastal territories and valleys. While the marine layer is a regular visitor along the coast, its inland intrusion might dim the sunrise for valley dwellers, but only until the clouds scatter between late morning and early afternoon hours. Nightly reappearances of the low-hanging clouds are given, beginning just after dusk and continuing into the early hours of the next day.
Frequent flyers and sea-goers can rest easy, as the outlook predicts no significant turbulences or marine hazards through Friday. Pilots should navigate pockets of inland visibility between 2-5SM in the early morning haze, lifting by mid-morning. Mariners, in the meantime, according to the National Weather Service forecast, are clear for smooth sailing with calm seas. Spotters are advised to watch, but no Skywarn activation has been requested.
