San Diegans can expect a dance of clouds and sunshine over the coming week, with temperatures consistently mild, but with a few opportunities for light showers sprinkled through the weekend. According to the detailed forecast published by the National Weather Service for San Diego, today will remain mostly sunny with peak temperatures hovering around 65 degrees and noticeable west winds that might occasionally gust up to 20 mph.
The skies are set to become increasingly overcast tonight, as the weather shifts to a low of around 57 degrees, and the west wind is expected to calm down as the evening progresses. Come Saturday, the city is anticipated to wake up to patchy drizzle before 11 a.m., which will lead into a mostly cloudy day with a high near 63 degrees. There's a slight chance to see some showers Saturday night, with lows around 54 and gusts that might again reach 20 mph. It is important to note that possibility of rain is estimated at a modest 20 percent.
Moving into Sunday, there's a slightly higher chance of showers, mainly before 11 a.m., with cloudy skies predicted throughout the day and high temperatures around 60 degrees. The southwest winds are to continue steadily, bringing gusts as high as 20 mph. "Chance of precipitation is 30%," the NWS report details, with new precipitation amounts expected to be less so than a tenth of an inch.
As the new week begins, San Diego will still be under the spell of cloudy skies on Monday, with a high close to 63, but the clouds are likely to gradually part as we move into Tuesday. "Mostly sunny," forecasts the NWS, with Tuesday's temperatures rising to a comfortable 67 degrees, and by midweek, the city is forecasted to fully bask in the sun with a Wednesday high near 70. Clear nights will follow suit, with temperatures in the mid-50s, creating ideal conditions for enjoying the evening outdoors. Thursday promises to maintain the trend with a mostly sunny agenda and the thermometer reaching up to 72 degrees.
While San Diego's weather might not promise the steady warmth of more tropical climes, it does present a variety of conditions that fit into a pattern consistent with this time of the year – a blend of May gray and the onset of what locals affectionately call "June gloom" in the horizon. No severe weather is on the radar, which should give the city's residents a level of predictability and comfort as they plan their weeks ahead.
