The National Weather Service (NWS) San Diego has reported that a high-pressure system to the southwest is set to bring drier conditions and a gradual warming trend into the weekend. Residents inland may experience some cooling and drying toward the middle of next week due to weak offshore flow, dependent on the trajectory and timing of weak low-pressure systems passing by to the north. NWS San Diego emphasized that weather patterns would affect various parts of the region differently.
The forecast has some promising details for those looking forward to a warm-up. According to the National Weather Service, most coastal and valley regions are beginning to see rising temperatures. Friday’s highs are expected to be “slightly below average near the coast to 4 to 8 degrees above average for the mountains and deserts.” In contrast, mountains and high desert areas were cooler today. The detailed outlook includes high temperatures, mostly in the 60s to around 70 for the coast and valleys and in the lower to mid-70s for the lower deserts. Meanwhile, coastal areas could experience patchy low clouds and fog, particularly late tonight into Thursday morning, with an increase in low cloud coverage anticipated for Thursday night into Friday morning.
The warming trend will continue as the weekend approaches, with Sunday’s high temperatures forecasted around average for coastal areas and as much as 10 to 15 degrees above average for mountains and high deserts. The NWS San Diego has indicated that high temperatures today in coastal areas will range from 61 to 64 degrees, with western valleys and inland Orange County seeing highs from 62 to 66 degrees. NWS Forecast Office San Diego, CA, suggests there won’t be a significant change in temperature near the coast and for the lower deserts come Thursday, whereas the mountains and high desert should experience a warmth increase of around 5 degrees…
