San Diegans woke up today to mild, partly cloudy skies, temperatures in the mid-60s and a light west breeze. The day is set to be mostly sunny, with a high near 77°F, followed by another unusually warm night with lows around 66°F. That routine of cool, gray mornings, bright afternoons and barely-cooling nights is expected to keep rolling through the weekend.
Afternoon and Weekend Outlook
Highs are forecast to land near 77°F today, edge up to about 78°F tomorrow and ease back into the mid-70s next Sunday. There is a slight chance of virga or an isolated mountain shower this afternoon, but no watches or warnings are in effect, according to the National Weather Service San Diego.
Foggy Mornings, Sunny Afternoons
A shallow marine layer will continue to push low clouds and patchy fog onto the coast and into western valleys overnight and during the early morning, with most areas clearing out by late morning. Winds will stay generally light to moderate from the northwest and west, around 0 to 10 mph, so the commute should only see minor impacts. Nights will remain unusually warm, in the mid-60s for most locations, and several daily warm-minimum records could be tied or broken through next Sunday.
Where To Cool Off
If you are heading inland or out to the deserts this weekend, plan for the heat: bring plenty of water, avoid heavy exertion during the hottest part of the afternoon and keep an eye on changing conditions. The county runs a network of free, air-conditioned Cool Zones and offers a printable list of sites. You can call 2-1-1 for help getting to a location. Check the San Diego County Cool Zones page for specific locations and hours.
Bottom line
Most of the region will stick with the classic combo: low clouds in the morning, mostly sunny afternoons in the upper 70s and warm nights that do not cool off much. If your weekend plans take you to the mountains or deserts, check the latest updates from the National Weather Service San Diego before you go.
