Sunny, Mild Weather Predicted For San Diego County, Warmer Inland

SAN DIEGO, CA — San Diego County can expect sunny and mild weather Sunday over coastal areas, and warm inland temperatures with highs in the valleys in the 80s, and 60s at the mountain resorts, the National Weather Service said.

High pressure and weak offshore flow was predicted to bring fair and warm days with cool nights all week, the NWS said.

A cooling trend was expected to begin next weekend as high pressure retreats and the marine layer rebuilds inland.

High temperatures along the coast Sunday were predicted to be 71-76 degrees with overnight lows of 43-52. Valley highs will be 79-84 with overnight lows of 41-50, forecasters said. Mountain highs were expected to be 67-76 with overnight lows of 40-50. Highs in the deserts will be 78-83 with overnight lows of 45-55.

Slight warming can be expected through the middle of the week, with Santa Ana winds becoming strongest on Wednesday across the mountains and foothills.

"There was expected to be an overall weakening of the ridge aloft so perhaps a better chance of some patchy low clouds and fog visiting the coast over the next few days," the weather service said.

Given the dry conditions and above-average temperatures, fire weather conditions were predicted to be somewhat elevated each day, especially in the offshore, wind-prone areas along the coastal slopes and foothills.
