California – Morning calm meets a soft haze across San Diego today, where the sky glows faintly gray above still streets and a cool Pacific breeze lingers. While daytime warmth continues, the first signs of an early December shift are beginning to show — patchy fog, slower commutes, and that unmistakable cool edge in the coastal air.
The National Weather Service expects patchy fog to redevelop late Friday and again through the weekend, especially along I-5 and near coastal valleys. Drivers should stay alert in low-visibility pockets, particularly around sunrise. The fog will fade by mid-morning each day, giving way to mostly sunny skies and comfortable highs near 68–70°F.
Winds stay light and variable, and with dry conditions dominating, the weekend looks ideal for outdoor plans — from decorating for the holidays to wrapping up post-Thanksgiving travel. Lows will hover in the lower 50s, with mild afternoons and calm nights ahead.
Looking beyond the weekend, NOAA’s national outlook shows a clear signal for cooling across much of the U.S. by early December. While Southern California should remain relatively dry, colder air across the interior West could nudge temperatures down a few more degrees in the days ahead.
