Fair And Mild Weather Sunday, With Rain, Snow Arriving In SD

SAN DIEGO, CA — High pressure was forecast to round out San Diego County's weekend on a fair and mild note Sunday, the National Weather Service said.

It was a cold Sunday morning across Southern California. Many locales dropped into the 30s overnight, including some beach locales, such as Del Mar and Solana Beach.

A frost advisory was issued from 10 p.m. Sunday to 8 a.m. Monday for San Diego County deserts.

Some fog was expected to return to coastal areas overnight, followed by increasing high clouds Monday and Tuesday ahead of a Pacific storm system.

Widespread rain and high elevation snow should arrive on Wednesday, forecasters said. Showers and cooler weather may linger for the remainder of the holiday weekend in a persistent stormy pattern.

High temperatures along the coast Sunday were predicted to be 62-67 degrees with overnight lows of 32-42. Valley highs will be 64-69 with overnight lows of 30-40. Mountain highs were expected to be 55-62 with overnight lows of 28-35. Highs in the deserts will be 65-70 with overnight lows of 27-37.

On Thursday, the snow level was expected to begin to drop and was forecast to be between 5,000 and 6,000 feet Friday morning.

Look for widespread rainfall across the county of 1-3 inches by late Friday, mountains favored for the heavier amounts, the NWS said.

Cooler than average weather was expected next week, and depending on the timing of additional disturbances from the north, more periods of rain and mountain snowfall could persist into early next week.
