California – Damp pavement and low clouds greeted early risers across San Diego this morning, with a light coastal moisture lingering just long enough to slow the start of the day. The gray look won’t last. Conditions shift quickly, and brighter skies are already lining up behind the morning clouds.
According to the National Weather Service in San Diego, there is a chance for light showers mainly early today, with rainfall amounts staying minimal. Clouds gradually thin as the morning wears on, allowing sunshine to return by midday. Afternoon highs reach the mid-60s, keeping the winter air mild and comfortable.
Any early wet roads should dry out quickly, but drivers may notice slick spots during the morning commute, especially on surface streets and freeway on-ramps. Reduced visibility is possible in passing showers before conditions improve. Plan a few extra minutes early, then expect smoother travel later today.
Tonight turns quieter. Skies become partly cloudy, and temperatures settle into the low 50s. By Thursday, winter sunshine takes control. Breezes increase slightly during the afternoon, but dry air and clear skies dominate. Highs stay in the low to mid-60s, ideal for outdoor plans.
Friday and the weekend continue the warming trend. Daytime temperatures climb toward the upper 60s and near 70 by Saturday. Nights remain cool but comfortable. Early next week pushes even warmer, reinforcing a springlike feel for January 2026.
While no major hazards are expected, this time of year can still bring brief weather shifts. Morning dampness followed by cooler nights may lead to slick sidewalks or shaded roadways early. For now, enjoy the calmer stretch and keep an eye out for quick changes near the coast.
