San Diego, Calif. – Thunderstorms could wake up parts of San Diego County overnight, bringing lightning, brief downpours, and gusty winds before clearing by Thursday afternoon. Roads may become slick for the Thursday morning commute, especially along Interstates 5 and 15.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and isolated storms carry up to an 80% chance overnight, tapering to 30% by Thursday afternoon. Rainfall totals should stay light, but stronger cells may drop quick bursts of rain. Winds could gust near 20 mph along the coast and inland valleys.
By Friday, skies turn mostly sunny with highs in the upper 70s, offering a calmer stretch before another round of showers arrives late Sunday into Monday. Patchy coastal fog will likely reduce visibility early next week, especially in the mornings.
