SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — We'll have a couple more days of nice and cool weather before a shift in winds brings Santa Ana conditions late Saturday through the middle of next week.
As of Friday afternoon, a Wind Advisory will be in place starting Monday at 2 A.M. through Wednesday at 5 P.M. for the inland valleys and mountains. Until then, our microclimates will remain below seasonal, with periods of gusty winds targeting the mountains and deserts.
Then, on Sunday, winds transition out of the NNE, gusting close to 50 mph at times towards the foothills and valleys. Peak winds will exceed close to 60mph.
As winds increase, temperatures will warm west of the mountains, and humidity levels will drop, amplifying fire danger across San Diego and its surrounding counties. Ensure your vehicles don't have loose parts and avoid uncontrolled burns. It would help if you also used this time to ensure your home or property has defensible space.
Santa Ana conditions will linger through the middle of next week. Daytime highs across the coast and valleys will trend above average Monday through Wednesday, while the mountains and deserts stay near seasonal.
We'll start to feel noticeable cooling Thursday as Santa Ana flow weakens.
Saturday's Highs:
Coast: 69-71
Inland: 71-76
Mountains: 63-72
Deserts: 84-87
