SAN DIEGO, Calif. – A stretch of mild, sunny afternoons will keep San Diego in the low 70s this weekend, but patchy fog is expected to return late Sunday and linger into early next week, creating potential driving hazards along coastal highways.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday will bring sunshine with highs near 73 degrees and light winds shifting west by the afternoon. While conditions remain clear Saturday night, fog will begin forming Sunday morning, especially near the coast and valleys, reducing visibility for early drivers on Interstates 5 and 8.
Sunday night into Monday, patchy fog could again blanket coastal neighborhoods before skies clear later in the day. Temperatures will hold steady, with highs in the low to mid-70s and overnight lows in the lower 60s. Winds remain light, though shifting south to southwest at times.
Motorists are urged to use caution in early morning commutes, particularly along the Coronado Bridge and near Lindbergh Field, where visibility can drop quickly. Residents are encouraged to allow extra time for travel, use headlights, and monitor updates from Caltrans if fog persists.
The pattern of sunny afternoons and foggy mornings is expected to continue through midweek, with slightly warmer conditions possible by late next week.
