San Diego, CA – Morning clouds continue to blanket San Diego this week, but residents can expect gradual clearing by Wednesday afternoon as a persistent marine layer slowly lifts.
According to the National Weather Service, overcast skies and mild highs in the mid-70s will dominate the region through midweek. A light southwest wind will shift westward at 5 to 15 mph by Wednesday, with gusts up to 20 mph expected in some inland areas.
Cloud coverage will steadily increase each evening, keeping overnight lows mild near 63°F to 64°F through Friday. Winds may pick up slightly Wednesday night into Thursday, but no major weather disruptions are forecast. Drivers along I-5 and the coast may see patchy fog early each morning, reducing visibility during commutes.
While this week’s pattern offers relief from summer heat, those heading outdoors should prepare for cooler starts and intermittent sun. Coastal areas like La Jolla, Ocean Beach, and Imperial Beach will stay cloudier longer than inland neighborhoods such as El Cajon or Santee.
Conditions will return to mostly sunny and seasonal by Saturday. No advisories are in effect, but updated forecasts will be issued if wind gusts strengthen later in the week.
