San Diego eased into Memorial Day under a blanket of low clouds, with San Diego International reporting cloudy skies and about 64°F as of 5:40 AM today. Conditions should break up a bit later, with partly sunny skies this afternoon and a high near 69°F. The marine layer will keep bayside neighborhoods cooler, and those low clouds are expected to creep back inland overnight.
Wind Advisory For Mountains And Deserts
The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory from 3 PM tomorrow through 5 AM Thursday for the Riverside County mountains, the San Diego County deserts, and the San Diego County mountains. West winds of 25–35 mph are expected in those areas, with gusts up to 45–55 mph and isolated gusts near 60 mph in the San Gorgonio Pass. Tie down any lightweight gear, and if you are driving a high‑profile vehicle through passes and along desert slopes in the middle of the week, be ready for some serious crosswinds.
Foggy Mornings, Sunny Afternoons
Along the coast, expect low clouds and patchy fog in the mornings that typically scatter to partly sunny skies by afternoon, with highs around 68–69°F. There is a slight chance of drizzle late tonight into Thursday morning; where measurable rain does fall, totals should stay under a tenth of an inch. Morning fog and low ceilings could slow early commutes and flights, so budget a little extra time if you are heading across beach and bay routes.
How To Prepare
This update follows our earlier Memorial Day preview. Before you head inland, secure umbrellas and loose patio items, check marine forecasts if you are boating, and keep an eye on changing conditions through Thursday morning.
