SAN DIEGO — A weak disturbance has started to weaken a ridge of high pressure that brought us days of mostly clear skies and slightly warmer than usual temperatures. An uptick in onshore flow led to more passing clouds and slightly cooler temperatures on Thursday.
For the rest of the night, the marine layer will roll in with more low clouds and patchy fog pushing inland through Friday morning. The strongest winds will favor the afternoon and evening hours. This will lead to another minor slip in temperatures on Friday.
FRIDAY TEMPERATURES:
AT THE COAST:
High surf will continue along our coastline through Friday. There will also be a high risk of rip currents. If you are not a skilled swimmer, you are advised to stay out of the water. Also remember, it is always best to swim near lifeguards.
The surf will subside to 2 to 4 feet with a moderate risk of rip currents on Saturday.
A weak ridge of high pressure will build in and bring us more sunshine and warmer temperatures over the weekend. By next week, a series of low pressure systems will sweep through the West. This will lead to more passing clouds and the return of cooler than usual temperatures by the middle of next week.
One of those lows will close in on Southern California. This could lead to a chance for scattered showers Thursday and Friday, along and west of the mountains. It's too early for more details. Those will be supplied in the days ahead.
