San Diego is heading into Saturday, but the beach—not the thermometer—is the main weather concern. The city is headed for partly cloudy skies and a high near 85 degrees, while dangerous surf and minor coastal flooding are expected along the coast through Tuesday night.
Dangerous Surf And Coastal Flooding Continue
[b2] The National Weather Service has issued a coastal flood advisory and high surf advisory from 6 a.m. Saturday through 11 p.m. Tuesday. South- and southwest-facing beaches could see breaking waves of 6 to 10 feet, while west-facing beaches may see waves of 4 to 7 feet, along with strong rip and longshore currents, according to The Sacramento Bee.
High tides will add to the risk, with waves occasionally pushing farther up the beach than expected. Low-lying lots, parks and roads could see minor flooding, so swimmers should stay near lifeguards, avoid sea walls and jetties, and never drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. The available sources do not establish a relative sea-level trend at San Diego. The available sources do not establish what damaged the Palm Avenue public access ramp.
Rain Chances Build Into Sunday
Saturday should see clouds increase during the afternoon, with a high around 85 degrees. Moisture associated with Hurricane Marie moves north, and the National Weather Service says periods of light rain could develop from Saturday evening into Sunday, with the better chances north and inland.
Sunday will be partly sunny with a high near 85 degrees, northwest winds of 5 to 15 mph and gusts up to 25 mph. Labor Day brings another high near 85 degrees, mostly sunny skies and a slight chance of rain showers between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Warm Stretch Takes Over The Workweek
Tuesday and Wednesday should remain mostly sunny, while the coast is expected to turn drier after Monday.
