Today, San Diego woke up to light rain around midday, with temperatures in the upper 50s near the airport and a forecast high close to 67°F. Showers are scattered and short-lived, but strengthening west winds will make bluff-top and canyon drives feel blustery this afternoon. Drivers can expect damp roads and occasional pockets of reduced visibility during the commute.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
West winds of about 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, are expected this afternoon, and a Wind Advisory remains in effect for parts of the inland and mountain zones until 11 AM PDT today, according to the National Weather Service San Diego. Gusts will be strongest along exposed bluffs, through canyon passes, and over higher terrain, where unsecured outdoor items can easily blow away. Small craft operators should be ready for choppy seas and occasional hazardous conditions.
Showers Tonight And Monday
A chance of rain showers will continue into the evening, then taper to a slight chance after about 11 PM, continuing through tomorrow morning, with a low near 56°F. Most neighborhoods are expected to pick up only light totals, generally less than a tenth of an inch, while favored foothill spots could see locally higher amounts. Monday trends drier and partly sunny with highs near 68°F, followed by a gradual warming trend later in the week.
Plan Ahead
If you have outdoor plans, secure loose patio furniture and umbrellas, and budget extra travel time on wet roads; slower speeds are a smart move on coastal and canyon routes. Boaters should check the latest marine forecast before heading out, and desert-bound travelers should watch for pockets of blowing dust in the lower deserts.
