California – Gray clouds are hanging low over San Diego this morning, dimming the coastline and slowing visibility along I-5 and coastal roads as drivers move through a muted, damp start. The marine layer is thick enough to delay sunshine, keeping roads slightly slick in shaded areas.
According to the National Weather Service, skies will gradually clear by late morning, with highs reaching near 75°F this afternoon. Light west winds between 5 and 10 mph will keep conditions comfortable but steady along the coast. Plan for slower travel early, especially near beaches and low-lying neighborhoods where clouds linger longest.
Conditions remain mostly cloudy into tonight, with temperatures settling near 59°F. The air stays mild, but reduced visibility may return in patches toward early morning hours.
Thursday brings a similar pattern, starting gray before clearing into sunshine with highs near 78°F. Winds stay light, though occasional gusts could reach 20 mph in the afternoon.
By Friday, a more noticeable shift develops. Patchy fog forms early, then breaks into mostly sunny skies with highs climbing to 80°F. That warming trend continues into Saturday, reaching 82°F as spring heat builds across Southern California.
Sunday stays bright and mild near 82°F, offering clear skies for outdoor plans, though morning clouds may briefly return.
Looking ahead, early next week introduces more clouds and a slight chance of showers by Tuesday, signaling a subtle pattern change.
For now, expect slow clearing each morning and warmer afternoons ahead. Keep layers ready and allow extra time on coastal roads early in the day.
