SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Conditions will be relatively tranquil as we inch towards the middle of October. Onshore flow and a coastal eddy have provided a nice marine layer spanning from the coastal areas inland with a struggle to see a break for clear skies. Today was a touch cooler than yesterday, and tonight will be slightly warmer, thanks to the build-up of low-level clouds.
Saturday will be a rinse and repeat of Friday with clearer conditions resulting in a warmer day. Then, we'll be about 5 to 10 degrees warmer on Sunday, thanks to a dome of warm air settling near the southwest. Closer to the surface, we'll have Santa Ana winds with strong gusts peaking on Sunday and Monday mornings. As the air becomes warmer and drier, expect elevated fire danger.
Low pressure will flatten the ridge slowly on Monday, but you can expect daytime highs warmer than where we should be for this time of year all next week.
Rain is nowhere near, and NOAA's newly released 8 to 10-day outlook keeps October dry and warmer than average.
Saturday's Highs:
Coast: 72-82
Inland: 83-88
Mountains: 75-83
Deserts: 89-83
