San Diego woke up to clear skies and a crisp Monday, Jan. 26, with the KSAN station at San Diego International reporting about 54°F. As the day wears on, sunshine should push afternoon temperatures into the lower 70s, with inland valleys running a few degrees warmer. The immediate coast will stay on the milder side, while foothill areas can expect it to be breezier later today.
Afternoon Winds and Temperatures
East-to-northeast winds are set to strengthen today along and below the coastal slopes of the mountains in Riverside and San Diego counties, with gusts up to about 35 mph in wind-prone foothills. Those gusts should back off tonight. Dry weather is expected to hang on through next weekend, with a gradual warming trend nudging many inland highs into the mid-70s by Saturday, according to the National Weather Service in San Diego.
What To Expect This Week
Tuesday, Jan. 27 will stay sunny with a high near 70°F and overnight lows in the upper 40s. Wednesday, Jan. 28 turns mostly cloudy with highs near 68°F. Thursday, Jan. 29 and Friday, Jan. 30 trend warmer, with highs in the low to mid 70s. Saturday, Jan. 31 may be the warmest day of the stretch, with lower 70s expected at the coast and mid-70s to lower-80s in inland valleys.
Plan Ahead
Beach plans should be comfortable, but anyone heading into the foothills will want to secure lightweight gear and be ready for gusty periods this afternoon. There are currently no watches or warnings in effect, and no hazardous marine conditions are expected through Thursday.
