The National Weather Service in San Diego reports a low-pressure trough moving inland is causing light showers to dissipate in the region this morning. With the eastward trough, we expect clearer skies and gentler breezes through the weekend. High pressure is taking over, promising a sunnier disposition for Southern California after a rendezvous with the wind, as per the National Weather Service.
Fear not for those feeling the chill in the high deserts through these early hours, as the gusty conditions are bowing out by morning light. The effects of the aforementioned weather system, including possible low clouds hanging on to the coastal and inland valleys, will begin to scatter as the weekend wears on. Forecasts predict highs of a cool nature, hovering near seasonal averages, at everyplace from mountain ranges to sun-soaked deserts, where the mercury will rise into the lower 70s.
However, don't get too cozy with the mild weather. Another low-pressure system plans to stir the pot as early as Monday, potentially leading to a reprise of today's blustery show with "strong and gusty out of the west again" returning and maybe kicking off more Wind Advisories, according to the National Weather Service. This system may tease a few showers on the western slopes and high desert areas, with a slight temperature dip, except for desert communities feeling the heat from downsloping winds.
The mariners should brace for a bumpy ride as well. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect through this morning, with an intermission of calmer conditions before the tumult returns late Monday. "Northwest winds 15-20 knots with gusts to 25 knots along with steep seas 5-9 feet will linger through this morning," as stated by the National Weather Service.
Those in seafaring vessels should anticipate things to mellow out this evening, only to brace for more chop come the week’s start.Surfers might find this weekend a mixed bag on the waves. "Elevated surf along west-facing beaches will continue this morning," with heights reaching up to 7 feet in sets.
The surf session eases later, but another high tide of activity is forecasted for Tuesday, right before another round of tranquil skies and mild temperatures settles in for the midweek stretch, according to the National Weather Service..
