Clear skies greeted San Diego today, with temperatures near 59°F at San Diego International Airport and inland spots already climbing into the low 70s. Today will stay mostly sunny, with highs along the coast near 73°F and warmer readings inland. Expect a sharp contrast between laid-back coastal neighborhoods and the wind-prone mountain passes and foothills.
Afternoon Winds Get Rowdy Inland
The National Weather Service has a Wind Advisory in effect through 5 PM PDT for nearby inland and mountain zones. Forecasters are calling for north-to-northeast gusts of 35 to 45 mph, with isolated gusts up to 50 to 55 mph near passes such as the Cajon Pass, so drivers of high-profile vehicles should use caution, especially this morning into midday, according to the National Weather Service San Diego.
Weekend Outlook
Warming continues into the weekend, with a mostly sunny Saturday and highs near 76°F, followed by another warm day Sunday with inland highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s and lower deserts climbing into the 90s. This lines up with the recent spring pattern.
Plan Ahead
Onshore flow is expected to return Monday and will spread cooler, breezy conditions inland, with a low-pressure system possible late Tuesday into Wednesday that could bring a slight chance of showers, according to the National Weather Service San Diego. For now, secure loose patio furniture and signage, watch for crosswinds on exposed routes, and count on coastal mornings to remain the calmest part of the day.
