California – A misty marine layer is clinging to San Diego this morning, cutting visibility to about one mile and dampening roads along I-5 and coastal routes. Drivers are already tapping brakes through La Jolla and downtown as low clouds limit sightlines and slow traffic.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy fog will thin by late morning, giving way to partial sunshine and a high near 76°F. Light winds keep conditions calm, but the marine layer returns quickly after sunset, setting up another gray start heading into Tuesday.
Clouds increase Tuesday with highs in the mid-70s, and the next shift arrives after evening. A 30% chance of showers develops Tuesday night, bringing light rain that could create slick pavement for the Wednesday morning commute. Keep wipers ready and allow extra space between vehicles.
By Wednesday, spotty showers linger early before gradual clearing pushes in by afternoon. Highs settle near 72°F, and roads may stay damp through midday, especially in shaded neighborhoods and inland valleys. Conditions improve later in the day, but brief delays remain possible during peak travel.
Thursday trends drier with decreasing clouds and highs near 70°F. Sunshine expands into Friday and the first weekend of April, with temperatures rebounding into the low to mid-70s. That warming trend hints at early spring “summer vibes” returning just in time for outdoor plans.
For now, the biggest impacts remain tied to low visibility this morning and the light rain window arriving Tuesday night into Wednesday. Stay alert during early commutes and watch for changing road conditions.

- Today: Morning fog, then partly sunny, high near 76°F
