ABC 10News Pinpoint Weather for Thursday, October 19, 2023: The heat on repeat for one more day

Posted
and last updated

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The heat will repeat for one more day before a big cooldown towards the latter part of the weekend into early next week.

We have a few more hours until the Heat Advisory for the valleys ends. Despite the advisory expiring, expect toasty and above seasonal heat to continue through Friday. Dense fog will hug coastal communities tonight and continue to linger through Friday morning.

Another big focus for the coastal communities is the high surf. A west and northwest swell moving in will bring waves 4 to 7 feet with localized sets up to 9 feet. Strong rip currents will also be a big concern for beachgoers. Those inexperienced should swim near a lifeguard and use extreme caution. A High Surf Advisory is in effect now through Friday at 9 P.M. for the coast.

A storm system diving south from the Pacific Northwest will bring cool, windy, and cloudy conditions beginning Sunday. By Monday, temperatures will plummet 30 degrees in some areas. The moisture influx could result in light shower activity, but the chances as of Thursday look minimal. However, I'd hold off on that car wash. Gusty westerly winds will target the mountains and deserts on Sunday and Monday afternoons.

Most of next week is trending cool and below seasonal.

Friday's Highs:
Coast: 75-89
Inland: 91-96
Mountains: 85-92
Deserts: 101-104
