Mostly sunny and dry on Friday with a chance for showers starting this weekend | San Diego Forecast

The combo of chilly night/morning temps with mild afternoon heat will continue on Friday. The weekend will bring a dip in degrees and chance for showers.

SAN DIEGO — Sunshine and warmth will continue on Friday afternoon in San Diego County as periods of weak Santa Ana winds remain active. Though this is not a strong wind event, we should still be mindful of these conditions. A few brush fires have broken out this week due to the dry vegetation and inland air in the afternoon. 

A more unsettled, active stretch of weather will bring us more passing clouds and a chance of showers as early as Saturday night and into the beginning of next week. While it's proving to be intense toward Northern California, this storm will weaken tremendously on its way down to Southern California.

High pressure will be swapped out for an area of low pressure over the weekend. Clouds will build throughout the day on Saturday ahead of the system as winds start to pick up. As the system closes in, models suggest a chance for light to moderate rain showers this weekend through early Wednesday morning. It looks to be on-again, off-again activity during this time frame.
