Slightly warmer weather is expected for San Diego County by mid-week, with cooler and windier conditions picking up next weekend, forecasters said Sunday. Desert areas are expected to warm up a bit, with sunny conditions and highs hitting the upper 70s to low 80s through the week. The mountains are also expected to see some sun, with highs in the upper 60s to mid-70s. The inland valley areas could see some light winds beginning Monday, with mostly sunny conditions and highs reaching the mid-70s, according to the National Weather Service. Coastal San Diego will see mostly sunny conditions through the week, with partly cloudy conditions in the mornings and highs in the mid-60s to low 70s. “One thing to note too is that is that we are tracking the chances for rain Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the mountains as well as the coast and your valleys. We could also get some chances of rain in the forecast for the desert regions,” said NBC 7 meteorologist Brooke Martell. Weather for Monday, Veteran’s Day Monday’s San Diego surf forecast includes a moderate-risk rip current, with water temperature 59 to 61 degrees, surf height from 2 to 4 feet and mixed south swell from 210 degrees and west swell from 280 degrees. Veterans Day in downtown San Diego is expected to reach a high near 69, gusts as high as 20 mph and a low around 55. “Low clouds that develop Monday evening will quickly clear from north to south Tuesday morning as breezy north to northeast winds develop on the coastal mountain slopes and foothills, locally into valleys,” the NWS said. A trough of low pressure will dig into Southern California Monday afternoon and during the overnight hours, bringing strong westerly wind gusts over the mountains and deserts. Those wind gusts will range from 30-45 mph, but the stronger winds will be over the deserts. There is a chance for rain around and after 10 p.m. Monday, Martell said. Most of that rain activity would develop before everyone else is up for the Tuesday morning commute. Rain amounts will be light. Monday temperatures: Coast: Mid-upper 60s Inland: Low to mid-70s Mountains: Mid-60s, p.m. wind Deserts: Low 80s, p.m. wind It will be a little cooler in most areas Monday, except the deserts and some mountain locations will have little change from Sunday. Highs will still reach the 70s in most valley locations and in the lower 80s in warmest parts of the lower deserts. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/ZHEXgElg4m— NWS San Diego (@NWSSanDiego) November 10, 2024 San Diego Oct 16 San Diego Veterans Day Parade marches down Harbor Drive Nov 10 Healthcare options available to veterans at the San Diego VA
