SAN DIEGO — We were basking in the sunshine with near to above seasonal temperatures on Wednesday. The peak of the heat was reached because of a strengthening ridge of high pressure. A weak disturbance will weaken the ridge tomorrow. Beginning on Thursday, onshore flow will pick up and allow for a cooling trend to set in through Friday with an increase in cloud cover at times, especially at the coast.
This will push low clouds and patchy fog more inland tonight through Thursday morning with a repeat performance on Thursday night and Friday morning. Cloud cover will be stubborn to clear the coast on Thursday afternoon. Farther away from the coast will lead to more sunshine with some passing clouds.
THURSDAY TEMPERATURES:
AT THE COAST:
High surf has returned with sets to 6 feet. 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 cooling will spread a little more inland on Friday due to the previously mentioned weak disturbance moving more to the east. Along the coast, we'll also see more of a cloud clearing on Friday. A weak ridge of high pressure will build in and bring us more sunshine and warmer temperatures over the weekend.
