According to NWS San Diego, San Diegans are in for a chilly weekend, with forecast highs today between 55 to 70 degrees today, depending on your location. The coastal areas will see temperatures ranging from 61 to 63 degrees, while the low deserts can expect slightly warmer weather with highs of 65 to 70 degrees. An approaching frost advisory has been issued, signaling temperatures will drop significantly overnight, especially in the Inland Empire and San Diego county valleys.
As confirmed byNWS San Diego’s forecast discussion, any residual showers are set to wrap up after sunrise, and the rest of the day will usher in dry conditions and slight warmth compared to Friday. Sunday is projected to begin on a frosty note as temperatures dip in sheltered valleys across more inland areas, with NWS anticipating that “chances of Ramona falling below 32 degrees are 95 percent and chances of temperatures below 36 degrees in Murrieta and near Riverside March AFB are 90 percent.” This has prompted a Frost Advisory from 10 PM tonight until 9 AM Sunday, signaling the need for residents to take precautionary measures to protect vulnerable outdoor plants and animals.
While the chill’s brunt will hit areas in valleys and high desert regions, Sunday’s highs are expected to increase slightly, providing a modest reprieve from the biting cold. The Santa Ana winds are also set to return, with gusts potentially hitting 30 to 40 mph in areas below passes and on coastal mountain slopes, indicating a warmer and windier twist for the latter part of the weekend.
Looking into the coming week, theNWS San Diegoforecast discussion outlines a rollercoaster of weather patterns, noting, “A weak trough of low pressure is expected to move into the Intermountain West Monday,” which will invite a mild cooldown west of the mountains and the potential emergence of marine layer low clouds and fog making a quick follow-up with a Santa Ana wind event anticipated to kick up from Tuesday through Thursday providing residents a taste of warming conditions before another trough potentially inches into the West Coast by Friday, promising to mix things up yet again. While most ensemble solutions point towards a cooling trend as the week wraps up, the exact impact of what weather this approaching trough will bring remains to be seen.
In coastal areas, mariners will face northwest winds ranging from 15 to 25 knots, with gusts up to 30 knots, making for rough seas with steep waves and combined seas reaching 7 to 10 feet, as reported byNWS San Diego. These conditions are forecasted to subsist through Sunday morning, as noted by the extension of the Small Craft Advisory in effect through 9 AM. Beachgoers aren’t off the hook either the elevated surf and strong rip currents present hazards, further compounded by high astronomical tides, which could produce minor tidal overflow in vulnerable low-lying areas. A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through noon today.
