According to a new weather forecast from the National Weather Service, San Diegans can look forward to a gradual warming trend lasting through the weekend. Today's prediction indicates night and morning coastal low clouds stretching well into most valleys, with a slight temperature dip for coastal and valley regions come Monday and Tuesday. Still, things are set to heat up again on Wednesday.
As we head into the weekend, temperatures are expected to rise, hitting close to or a few degrees above average. This means for those braving the lower deserts, the mercury could soar into the scorching 90s. In comparison, folks in the Inland Empire might see a more comfortable range—upper 70s to mid-80s, "With the warming, high temperatures on Saturday will be around average to as much as 5 degrees above average for the deserts and inland valleys" the National Weather Service's area forecast discussion detailed.
A slow warming trend is pegged to keep thermometers climbing through Sunday. Coastal regions will see average temperatures, whereas deserts and inland valleys will experience highs 4 to 8 degrees above average; the lower deserts could sizzle at around 100. However, the weather narrative shifts early next week as a weak low pressure system brewing off the California coast on Sunday is set to traverse southern California by Tuesday, potentially ushering in some relief from the heat for coast and valley habitats but not before offering a slightly warmer Wednesday.
No warnings for sailors have been issued as the marine forecast promises calm seas through Monday, offering smooth sailing conditions for maritime activities, "No hazardous marine conditions are expected through Monday," the forecast assurance provided. Meanwhile, aviation reports suggest that low clouds, with bases reaching 1600-2100 feet MSL and tops to 2700 feet, will impact visibility across coastal and valley areas in the morning, while mountain and desert flyers can expect clear skies and unlimited sightlines.
Although the weather watch remains neutral, with no Skywarn activation called for, spotters are nevertheless inclined to remain vigilant and report any noteworthy developments. This encourages a communal spirit of monitoring and reacting to environmental ebbs and flows, perpetuating a shared responsibility for weather awareness.
