San Diego started the day on a cool, mellow note with mostly clear skies and about 57°F at San Diego International Airport, while a shallow marine layer clung to the immediate coast. Inland neighborhoods will warm up nicely once the sun gets to work, with highs expected to top out near 71°F today. Afternoons will turn sunnier and steadily warmer through the weekend and into early next week, with overnight lows holding in the upper 50s and light winds for most neighborhoods.
Morning Fog, Sunny Afternoons
Low clouds and patchy fog are expected to push onshore overnight, hanging around beaches and bayside neighborhoods through the late morning. That means early commuters can expect things to feel cool, a bit damp, and occasionally murky before skies clear inland by midday. San Diego International and nearby coastal fields could see temporary MVFR ceilings overnight, with most terminals clearing by late morning. After that, look for bright, mostly sunny afternoons and light west breezes. If you have an early flight or commute, give yourself extra time for slower visibility, according to the National Weather Service office in San Diego.
Warm Week Ahead
Temperatures will trend upward into the weekend, with inland highs climbing into the mid 70s and a forecast high near 77°F by next Monday and Tuesday, which looks to be the warmest stretch of the week. Forecasters are also flagging areas well east of the city, especially the low deserts, for elevated heat risk from Sunday through Tuesday, while coastal neighborhoods stay moderated by the onshore flow.
Plan Accordingly
If you are sensitive to heat, try to keep outdoor workouts to the mornings or evenings, and bring a light jacket if you are heading to the coast during the morning commute when fog or low clouds can cut visibility. There are currently no watches or warnings in effect for San Diego County. If conditions change, we will post updates, and forecasters continue to encourage residents to report significant weather to local spotter networks. Stay hydrated and consider tweaking outdoor plans if you will be away from the marine influence in the inland valleys later this weekend.
