California – San Diego residents may want to keep umbrellas handy this Thursday as a brief round of fall thunderstorms moves into the area. The National Weather Service forecasts a 30% chance of rain and isolated thunder on Thursday, October 9, with mostly sunny and mild conditions returning by the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service San Diego office, clouds will increase Wednesday before possible scattered showers develop Thursday morning, especially near the coast and along Interstate 5. Motorists should be prepared for slippery roads and minor delays, especially during the late morning commute.
The system will quickly move east by Thursday night, ushering in a warmer, drier pattern. Friday is expected to be partly sunny with highs near 76°F, followed by a bright and comfortable weekend perfect for pumpkin patch visits, coastal walks, or Halloween decorating.
By Saturday, skies turn mostly sunny with highs in the mid-70s. Sunday continues that pleasant trend before mild cooling early next week. No frost or major cold snap is expected yet, but cooler mornings will hint at deeper fall conditions ahead.
Residents planning outdoor activities should check the latest NWS updates and use caution on wet roads Thursday.
