San Diego County is set to enjoy dry and warmer than normal weather conditions through Friday, according to the National Weather Service. High pressure currently dominating the region will lead to daytime temperatures ranging from a comfortable 71 degrees Fahrenheit near the coast to as high as 84 degrees Fahrenheit in the desert areas.
The weather forecast for Tuesday indicates that coastal areas will see highs of 71 degrees, while inland regions can expect temperatures between 72 and 76 degrees. In the western valleys, highs will reach between 74 and 78 degrees, and foothill areas may experience temperatures from 77 to 82 degrees. Mountain regions are forecasted to see highs of 70 to 78 degrees, while the deserts will enjoy the warmest temperatures of the day, ranging from 81 to 84 degrees.
Night and morning low clouds, along with fog, will persist along the coast, gradually extending inland by the weekend. This pattern is expected to shift as onshore flow returns, bringing cooler temperatures starting Friday and continuing through the weekend. Despite the incoming cooler weather, temperatures are projected to remain above average, a trend that has characterized the season thus far.
Looking ahead, temperatures may rise again at the start of next week. However, forecasters have indicated that a potential storm system could approach the West Coast, bringing a chance of rain to the region around Christmas. This possible weather event could alter holiday plans for residents and visitors alike, as many families look forward to outdoor activities during the festive season.
In the meantime, local officials are preparing for the holiday weekend, with various initiatives underway to ensure public safety. As San Diego County grapples with fluctuating property values, residents are also facing challenges such as negative equity. The upcoming weather changes may further impact local conditions and economic factors in the region.
Overall, while San Diego County enjoys pleasant weather for now, the potential for rain on Christmas Day reminds residents to stay informed and prepared for any changes in their holiday plans.
