The final days of April and first days of May will be mostly clear and warm across San Diego County as a high-pressure system continues to dominate weather along the West Coast, the National Weather Service says.
It appears that San Diego will have plenty of sunshine from mid-morning until late afternoon on Wednesday, the first day of May. The city experienced only two hours of sunshine during the entire month of May last year.
San Diego’s daytime high will be 68 on Tuesday and Wednesday and 72 on Wednesday and Thursday, with the possibility of slightly higher temperatures late in the week when mild Santa Ana winds blow through Southern California. The city’s average high at this time of year is 69.
Forecasters say pockets of fog could develop along the coast on Tuesday and Wednesday. But they’ll disappear by 9 a.m.
Sea surface temperatures will be in the 56-to-62-degree range for the next several days, which is cooler than normal for this time of year. A mix of waves out of the west and southwest will produce 3-to-5-foot waves at some beaches on Tuesday, generating strong rip currents.
