San Diegans looking to escape the peak summer heat may find temporary relief this week as forecasts predict below-average temperatures continuing through Saturday. According to the National Weather Service San Diego, coastal low clouds will roll in during the night and morning, spreading into the valleys. These conditions may lead to isolated light showers, particularly along the desert slopes, although little to no rainfall is expected.
Temperature-wise, the highs will hover around 70 degrees near the coast and climb into the 80s for the Inland Empire, with the lower deserts heating up to 102 and 106 degrees. The marine layer, which has been contributing to the coastal and valley cloud cover, is forecasted to remain approximately 2500 to 3000 feet deep through Tuesday. However, come Wednesday, there is a chance for the layer to reduce, not to spread into the far inland valleys overnight, possibly leading to a few degrees warmer than what was seen on Tuesday.
The detailed 7-Day Forecast for San Diego echoes the trend, with Wednesday showing gradual clearing after a cloudy morning and a high near 74 degrees. This slight warming trend is expected to continue, with Thursday seeing a high near 75 and mostly sunny skies after a bout of morning clouds…
