California – A gray marine layer hangs low over San Diego this morning, softening skylines and dampening streets near the coast. Patchy fog blurs traffic lights, and moisture clings to windshields as commuters ease onto busy roadways.
According to the National Weather Service in San Diego, fog lingers early before clouds thicken. Showers develop later in the morning and become more widespread by afternoon. Rain chances reach near 60 percent today and continue into Wednesday, with light totals generally under a tenth of an inch. Gusts may briefly reach 20 to 25 mph, especially near the coast and higher terrain.
Across downtown, Mission Valley, and coastal routes, highs settle in the mid-60s. Roads may turn slick quickly once showers begin, particularly on I-5, I-8, and Highway 163. Drivers should expect reduced visibility at times and allow extra braking distance during peak travel hours.
Showers remain possible into Wednesday morning before gradually easing. While snow stays confined to higher elevations well north and east of the county, cooler air follows the system. Evening temperatures dip into the lower 50s, creating localized slick spots where pavement dries unevenly.
By Thursday, conditions improve. Skies brighten with a mix of sun and clouds, and highs rebound near 65. Friday turns sunnier and calmer, with afternoon temperatures near 67, setting up a mild Valentine’s Day weekend. Outdoor plans look increasingly favorable after midweek.
Looking ahead, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook points toward above-normal temperatures building into early next week. That warming trend hints at a broader February thaw across Southern California, with springlike afternoons becoming more common.
