San Diego is waking up under mostly clear skies Thursday morning, with one more warm, dry push ahead. The city should climb to about 80 degrees this afternoon before the weather takes a decidedly wetter turn overnight. By Friday, umbrellas will be more useful than sunglasses.
Thursday will be warm, with mostly clear skies and dry conditions through the day. The National Weather Service expects clouds to build later, with showers expected late Thursday night.
Showers Arrive Thursday Night
Rainfall in the valleys through Friday afternoon could total between a tenth and a quarter of an inch. Friday will be mostly cloudy and showery, with a high near 71 and another 70% chance of rain. Southwest winds could gust to 20 mph, adding a little bite to an otherwise mild day.
Friday night remains wet, with another round of showers likely. Saturday could see rain through about 4 p.m., with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 70. West-facing beaches may also see surf building, with sets reaching 7 to 8 feet by Saturday.
Sunday Offers A Brief Weather Break
Sunday looks like the temporary reset button: mostly sunny, around 71 degrees, and largely dry during the day. That break is short-lived, however, with the next chance of showers arriving Monday into Tuesday. The updated forecast is a more substantial turn than the outlook described in Wednesday's Hoodline forecast.
Rain Chances Continue Into Next Week
Monday brings likely showers, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 69, followed by another unsettled day Tuesday with rain chances and a high near 67. Gusty onshore winds are possible during the coming system. Wednesday may see light precipitation as weak cyclonic flow continues.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed for San Diego, but conditions will be changing quickly from Thursday's heat to a cooler, wetter pattern. Beachgoers, boaters and anyone planning outdoor activities should check the latest forecast before heading out, especially Friday evening through Saturday.
