NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
515 PM PDT SAT JUN 6 2026
SYNOPSIS
NOT AS HOT THIS WEEKEND WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. TEMPERATURES WILL HOLD NEAR AVERAGE FOR THE
FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK AS A TROUGHING PATTERN LINGERS WITH A
DEEPER MARINE LAYER. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN BY WEDNESDAY INTO THE
LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK, BRINGING A WARMING TREND.
DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS MOVING INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON STATE
TODAY, BRINGING AN OPEN WAVE TROUGHING PATTERN ALONG THE WEST
COAST. THIS CONTINUES TO BRING GREATER ONSHORE FLOW AND SUBTLE
COOLING TO THE REGION TODAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES
COOLER THAN YESTERDAY. THE MARINE INVERSION IS STILL STRONG, WHERE
LOW CLOUDS WILL SEE INTERMITTENT CLEARING. BREEZY WEST AND SOUTH
WINDS WILL OCCUR OVER THE DESERT SLOPES/PASSES INTO THE DESERTS
THROUGH THIS EVENING. MODELS SHOW GUSTS PRIMARILY NEAR 25-40 MPH,
LOCALLY NEAR 55 MPH IN THE SAN GORGONIO PASS.
AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE PACIFIC NW MOVES INLAND, WE
WILL SEE A FEW MORE DEGREES OF COOLING FOR INLAND AREAS FOR SUNDAY
AND MONDAY AS REINFORCING SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH TO THE NORTH.
MOST AREAS WILL BE NEAR AVERAGE WITH SOME INLAND VALLEY LOCATIONS
NEAR 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL AS LOW CLOUDS MOVE INTO THE COASTAL
AND WESTERN VALLEY AREAS EACH NIGHT AND MORNING. HIGHS IN THE 70S
AND 80S WILL OCCUR ACROSS MOST AREAS WITH HIGHS 95-100 DEGREES
ACROSS THE LOWER DESERTS.
BY WEDNESDAY, THE TROUGHING PATTERN TO THE NORTH WILL SHIFT
FURTHER INLAND AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE AMPLIFIES OFF THE
COAST. THIS WILL BRING WARMER WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY, WITH SIMILAR
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK AS THE SYSTEM
REMAINS OFF THE COAST. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR HOW WARM WE
BECOME, BUT SO FAR, NBM PREDICTIONS HAS HIGH TEMPERATURES AROUND 5
TO LOCALLY 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME PERIOD.
