California starts the morning under a blanket of gray along the San Diego waterfront, with 55 degrees showing at the airport and a light breeze drifting off the bay. The air feels cool but not cold, and the streets are dry as commuters head toward I-5 and Harbor Drive.
According to the National Weather Service, clouds will gradually thin by late morning, giving way to partial sunshine and a high near 70 degrees. Winds remain light, shifting west at 5 to 10 mph this afternoon.
Clouds increase again later tonight, with temperatures settling into the mid-50s. By Wednesday, skies trend brighter through midday as highs reach near 69. Expect a mix of sun and clouds into Thursday morning before more consistent sunshine returns, again near 69 degrees.
Friday brings full sun and a high close to 70. The weekend looks warmer, with Saturday pushing toward 74 degrees and Sunday nearing 77, though a slight shower chance appears late Sunday into Monday. No heavy rain is signaled, but keep an eye on changing conditions if you have outdoor plans.
While mountain snow and gusty winds sweep the Rockies midweek, Southern California stays mild and dry. This is classic early March moderation.
We also spring clocks ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8. Longer evenings arrive just as temperatures trend upward. Early outlooks into the 6-10 day window favor above-normal warmth across much of California.
