A mild weather pattern is standing in San Diego, with only minor fluctuations expected as we start the week. According to the National Weather Service San Diego , today's high temperatures will toe the line typical for this time of year, with ranges from the high 60s in coastal areas to the low 80s in the low deserts. Tomorrow, the trend is to actualize a slight cooling across areas west of the mountains, although the deserts are anticipated to retain their current warmth.

The NWS notes, "It will be a little cooler west of the mountains, but the deserts will change very little." A small dip into the mid-60s to low 70s can be expected for those enjoying the balmy beach days. Despite these gentle shifts in temperament, no significant moisture is forecasted to grace the region.



"Most likely we will remain dry Monday night as the trough moves by to the north," said the NWS San Diego , predicting a more widespread presence of low clouds and fog by then. Those heading inland or to the mountains might encounter breezier conditions, with gusts predicted to occasionally push past 30 miles per hour. A pulse of weak Santa Ana winds is expected to follow on Tuesday and Wednesday, warming things up by midweek.

The mercury will climb slightly, "with high temperatures averaging about 5 deg F above normal," according to meteorological predictions . However, by the weekend, the forecast hints at a Pacific system bringing cooler temperatures, possibly rain, and even snow to higher elevations. Any impending wet weather notwithstanding, local mariners can look forward to predominantly calm seas.

"Northwest winds occasionally gusting 20-25 kts in the outer coastal waters near San Clemente Island late Monday afternoon through early Tuesday morning," could be the only blip on an otherwise tranquil oceanic radar, per NWS . Though not activated, Skywarn maintains its readiness should spotters need to report anything noteworthy..
