SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Saturday will be our transition day into a big cooling pattern, with the coldest temperatures on Monday. A storm system brewing off the Alaskan coast will shift southeast, increasing onshore flow and pushing a lot of moisture into Southern California.
Marine layer clouds will gradually build Saturday night through Sunday and each morning into early next week.
Westerly winds will increase with strong gusts targeting the eastern slopes and deserts Sunday afternoon through Monday morning. Peak wind gusts will exceed 50mph plus. Those living in wind-prone areas should tie loose objects and perhaps take down that 12-foot skeleton. There is no Wind Advisory as of Friday night, but that could change as we inch closer to the weekend.
The moisture influx could squeeze out light shower activity Sunday night through Monday, resulting in a soggy commute. Showers chances look slim, and any rain we collect will be minimal.
We'll be sitting in a below-average temperature zone most of next week, with a slow climb to warming on Friday.
Saturday's Highs:
Coast: 71-78
Inland: 79-86
Mountains: 76-86
Deserts: 99-102
