SAN DIEGO — Last weekend was a chilly one countywide, but San Diego County will feel steady warming this week. Overnight lows will still trend cooler than normal, so layers will be necessary as you head out the door. A couple daily temperature records were broken overnight in Vista and Ramona over the weekend. Ramona had another record overnight low on Monday at 27 degrees. The previous record stood at 30 degrees back in 2022.
As high pressure moves in, offshore winds will pick up from Tuesday morning through Thursday. Expect dry, offshore winds at times. This will dry out our air and bring elevated fire weather concerns. Though the winds will not be as gusty as the last time we had Santa Ana winds, or as dry, we should still be mindful of these conditions.
Our next chance for wet weather in the forecast does not arrive until the weekend.
TUESDAY TEMPERATURES:
With morning lows in the 30s again, expect patchy frost especially in the foothills. We had widespread 60s on Monday for daytime highs. Tuesday will bring a slight warm up with more low 70s inland.
SEASONAL (AVERAGE) DAYTIME HIGHS:
- Coastal highs near 69 to 71 degrees
- Inland valley highs near 72 degrees
- Mountain highs near 57 degrees
- Desert highs near 77 degrees
AT THE COAST:
The surf is still elevated. It will remain 3 to 5 feet through Tuesday. Surf heights will decrease to 2 to 4 feet with a moderate risk of rip currents on Wednesday.
High pressure will be swapped out for an area of low pressure over the weekend. Clouds will build on Saturday ahead of the system as winds start to pick up. This will cool temperatures and as the system closes in, it suggests a chance for showers late Saturday night with chances lasting through Monday. It looks like this will be on-again, off-again activity and even cooler temperatures into the start of next week.
It is still too far out to determine rainfall projections and a time frame for the bulk of the moisture. We will continue to keep you posted. One adjustment has been noted as of Monday night. Models are scaling back on the chances.
