San Diego, CA – Commuters along the coast could wake up to dense patchy fog Tuesday morning before skies clear to reveal one of the week’s most comfortable afternoons. Light winds and a high near 74°F will follow, making the day ideal for outdoor plans once the clouds lift.
According to the National Weather Service, the fog is expected to linger until about 11 a.m. Tuesday, mainly affecting coastal neighborhoods from La Jolla to Imperial Beach. Drivers should allow extra travel time for reduced visibility on stretches of I-5 and Pacific Highway. Southwest winds will pick up slightly in the afternoon, helping clear the marine layer.
While Wednesday and Thursday bring similar patterns of morning cloud cover and gradual afternoon clearing, Tuesday’s cooler temperatures make it the standout for mid-August comfort. This trend of calm weather is expected to continue through the weekend, offering several opportunities for outdoor dining, beach visits, or evening walks along the waterfront.
Skies will gradually clear each day, but residents should remain alert for overnight fog that can return quickly and create early morning travel hazards. Updates will be issued if conditions change.
