Today, San Diego woke up under a blanket of clouds and mild air, with readings at San Diego International near the low 60s. The marine layer is hugging the coastline, so drivers can expect patchy fog along beaches and coastal roads through mid-morning before sunshine breaks out inland. By afternoon, highs should climb into the low 70s at the shore and into the mid-70s across inland valleys.
Foggy Starts, Sun-Soaked Finishes
Patchy low clouds and coastal fog are expected to thin by late morning, leaving mostly sunny skies for the afternoon and light southwest winds around 0–10 mph. Once the sun takes over, it will feel comfortably warm for outdoor plans, although mornings will still run on the cool side near the water. Overnight lows are forecast to hold in the upper 50s.
Late-Week Rain And Wind On The Way
According to the National Weather Service San Diego, a low moving in from the northwest will boost the odds of showers late Friday into Saturday, with showers and thunderstorms likely across parts of the county on Saturday and a lingering chance into Sunday. Forecasters also expect stronger southwest-to-west winds Thursday and Friday, with gusts possibly reaching 35–45 mph in the mountains and deserts and occasional outer-water gusts over 20 knots Wednesday night. Snow levels are projected to fall to roughly 6,500 feet on Saturday and about 6,000 feet on Sunday. Anyone with weekend outdoor plans or trips into higher terrain should keep tabs on forecast updates for any advisories and timing shifts.
What This Means For Your Plans
Morning commuters may want to leave a little early on coastal routes, where fog could cut visibility. Beachgoers should plan on a light layer for those cool, gray starts before the sun shows up. Looking ahead to the weekend, a lightweight rain shell is a smart add-on for outdoor events, and mountain drivers should be prepared for wet pavement or brief snow above about 6,000 feet.
