Today in San Diego, the weather is expected to remain cool and cloudy with light rain on the horizon as an atmospheric river moves south. The work week is ending with moderate, dry, and mostly sunny conditions on Friday, but a broad area of low pressure bringing heavy rainfall to Northern California will result in more widespread cloud coverage and breezy westerly winds in San Diego County.
Although the cold front associated with this weather system is predicted to lose much of its moisture as it moves through Southern California, some areas may experience drizzle or light rain starting as early as Saturday evening. The main rain activity is anticipated late Saturday evening into early Sunday morning, with Sunday expected to be cloudy, cool, and somewhat dry. There is a chance of isolated light showers on Monday or Tuesday as well.
Overall, San Diego County is forecasted to receive only a few hundredths of an inch of rain in coastal and valley areas, with potential amounts of up to a tenth of an inch in places like Julian and Pine Valley. Despite the limited rainfall, there will be widespread cloud cover and breezy westerly winds throughout the region.
Saturday’s daytime highs will range from the low to mid-60s in coastal, valley, and mountain areas, with temperatures reaching the upper 70s in the deserts. Looking ahead, there is a possibility of additional moisture on Monday or Tuesday, but it is expected to result in only isolated light showers.
As residents prepare for the upcoming weather changes, it is important to stay informed about any updates or alerts from the National Weather Service in San Diego. Be sure to plan accordingly and take necessary precautions to stay safe and dry during this period of cool and cloudy weather with light rain expected in the region.
