San Diego, Calif. – Morning commuters in San Diego should plan for delays Saturday as dense fog and low visibility develop along I-5 and surrounding routes. Patchy fog could create dangerous driving conditions during early travel hours, especially near the coast and freeway corridors. Drivers are urged to slow down, use headlights, and allow extra time if traveling before midmorning.
According to the National Weather Service, coastal clouds will persist through much of the weekend, keeping temperatures in the mid-70s. Saturday looks partly sunny with highs near 74, while Sunday brings more cloud cover before skies gradually clear by Monday. Winds remain light, but gusts may briefly reach 20 mph Thursday and Friday.
While rain chances stay slim, Friday morning could see a brief shower before drier, cooler fall air settles in. Residents can expect mild afternoons with highs in the low to mid-70s and cooler nights dipping into the mid-60s. These patterns mark the transition into October’s first full week, where brighter, warmer days return by midweek.
Locals should take advantage of the cooler weather for outdoor plans but prepare for limited visibility early each morning. Those along the waterfront or in low-lying valleys are most likely to see fog-related disruptions.
More updates are expected this weekend, with clearer conditions likely by Tuesday as October sunshine spreads across Southern California.
