An usually strong low pressure system will be rolling overhead in San Diego's
skies this weekend, and it's going to make this Memorial Day weekend look very,
very different than what you should be expecting around San Diego!
Friday will be the coldest day of the weekend, with highs only in the 60s inland
and at the coast. That's roughly 20F degrees colder than normal for inland
valleys, where it normally would be in the mid 80s right now. Drizzle (and
possibly even measurable rainfall in the form of showers late in the day) will
also make Friday an interesting weather day. . .and that's not all.
A High Wind Warning is in effect for the mountains and deserts through Saturday
morning, as some strong winds associated with this trough of low pressure will
create some tough conditions for fighting the Banner Fire.
Starting Saturday, things will start to dry out - in every sense of the word. A
better chance of sunshine Saturday everywhere, and a slight warming by a few
degrees from Friday should brighten your spirits. Sunday, more sun - and warmer
weather - and by Memorial Day, it should be back in the upper 70s inland with
near 70 at the coast. . .so don't put off any BBQ plans for MEmorial Day just
because we are starting out with some cold, cloudy and wet conditions.

There's never been a "clearer" weather forecast, that is, if you can get past the hair that's out of place. And sometimes the pattern on the tie. Did we mention the tie?
