San Diego, CA – Patchy morning fog is expected to blanket San Diego through Wednesday, reducing visibility on local roadways and prompting drivers to slow down during the early commute. Afternoon clearing will bring sunshine, but the persistent marine layer means cooler mornings and occasional traffic delays.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy fog will last until about 11 a.m. each day, with afternoon highs reaching 78°F Monday and climbing to the low 80s by midweek. Winds will remain light, but occasional gusts could top 20 mph, especially along the coast and in higher elevations.
Residents in La Jolla, Chula Vista, and along the I-5 corridor should plan for reduced visibility through early Tuesday, particularly before sunrise. With fog lingering in low-lying areas, allow extra travel time and use headlights as needed. After fog burns off, expect partly sunny skies with warm temperatures in the afternoon.
The marine layer is set to thin out by Wednesday afternoon, bringing longer stretches of sunshine and higher temperatures by Thursday. Morning commuters should stay alert for updated advisories if visibility worsens or if dense fog develops overnight.
More updates are expected if fog conditions become hazardous or extend through the week.
