The weather for the start of the week is determined to remain cool and wet, so residents of San Diego may want to keep their lightweight sweaters and rain gear close at hand. Today’s highs in the valley and along the coast will only be in the 60s, with temperatures hovering around five degrees Fahrenheit below normal, according to NWS San Diego. Conditions in Orange and San Bernardino County are not forecast to reach the typical temperature range on Monday, despite a minor warm-up.
According to the National Weather Service San Diego CA’s Area Forecast Discussion, commuters had a dismal morning with widespread low clouds bringing light rain, drizzle, and fog “from the coast to the mountain slopes into the early afternoon.” The clouds will persist through the night, and there will be a risk of precipitation again from Monday through Wednesday, even if the rainfall is predicted to subside by today afternoon. The outlook suggests a break just in time for Thanksgiving Day, with dry conditions and milder temperatures expected into next weekend, despite the start being cool and rainy.
Along with the rain and clouds, there are also strong, gusty west winds in mountain and desert regions. Throughout the afternoon, care should be used in the canyons, desert slopes, and mountain passes due to gusts of 35 to 40 miles per hour. On Monday, the situation should somewhat improve before resuming on Tuesday. These trends highlight how unpredictable the seasons can be, which keeps Southern California alert.
A modest ridge of high pressure is rising the temperature a few degrees above normal, so as the skies finally clear later this week, “dry conditions are expected for the Thanksgiving holiday and into next weekend,” with largely fair weather returning for those joyous get-togethers, according to the NWS. With largely unhindered visibility predicted after the chaos, the airline industry is also expected to breathe easier, guaranteeing more seamless operations for vacation travel.
The news is clear for those involved in the maritime industry, as the NWS reports that “No hazardous marine weather is expected through Thursday.” Therefore, smooth waters are to be expected for sailors and people traveling to the ocean. However, because of the unpredictable nature of weather patterns at this time of year, residents are encouraged to stay alert and stay up to date.
