San Diego residents can expect a wave of warmth and mostly sunny skies through midweek, with temperatures peaking around 10 degrees above average before cooling down for the weekend. The National Weather Service in San Diego highlights a rising temperature trend for coastal and valley areas until Wednesday and for desert regions through Thursday, with the coast enjoying lower 70s and the Inland Empire seeing temperatures stretching into the lower to mid-90s.
However, the anticipation of the marine layer's decrease might deepen the thirst for relief; the layer, which now stands at 4000 feet, is predicted to reduce to about 1500 to 2000 feet with lower-level northerly wind gusts hitting around 30 mph along the coastal mountain slopes. As the marine depth wanes, the local atmospheric dance gives stage to night and morning coastal low clouds pushing lightly into the western valleys.
Transitioning into the latter part of the week, the detailed 7-day forecast foresees a cooling trend, with inland temperatures dipping a few degrees. By the weekend, San Diegans can expect a return to average temperatures ranging from the mid- to upper 60s near the coast to the lower deserts hovering around 100.
Flying conditions remain optimal for the most part with only a smattering of low clouds around 1400-1800ft MSL causing small perturbations, Tuesday night may bring incredibly low bases of around 300-600ft MSL in some coastal areas, though chances of this are currently placed at a meager 15 percent according to the aviation outlook by the National Weather Service and for those taking to the sea no hazardous marine conditions are predicted through Saturday.
Lastly, Skywarn, the program enlisting volunteer weather spotters, has not been activated, but the NWS is still encouraging reports on significant weather conditions. These could be of value to San Diego's community seeking to understand the full scope of their weather landscape over the bustling mid-May stretch.
