SAN DIEGO, CA — Clouds drift low over Mission Bay this morning, damp streets catching the first blush of sunrise after a light sprinkle overnight. The brief coastal rain marks the last gasp of unsettled November weather before a dry, sun-filled stretch takes hold through Thanksgiving week.
According to the National Weather Service in San Diego, showers will wind down early today, leaving behind cooler air and clearing skies. Highs will hover near 66°F, but Sunday and Monday will bring gradual warming and lighter winds — a welcome pattern for travelers heading out of town or taking to the highways across Interstates 5 and 8.
By Sunday afternoon, sunshine dominates again, pushing highs to 67°F, and the marine layer retreats to the coast. Monday through Wednesday brings classic Southern California warmth, with highs near 70°F, calm seas, and light breezes. Air travel and road conditions should remain favorable through the first wave of Thanksgiving travel.
Looking further ahead, Thanksgiving Day appears mild and bright, with highs in the upper 60s — perfect for backyard gatherings or a stroll along the waterfront. Across much of the nation, however, a major cold front looms later next week, bringing heavy snow and frigid temperatures from the Rockies through the Midwest and possibly the East Coast.
