After a period of winter storms, the San Diego region is set to experience a warm stretch with temperatures rising 10 to 20 degrees above normal through the end of the week. Gradual warming and dry weather are expected, with high clouds and weak offshore flow giving way to increasing chances for marine low clouds later in the week.

Why it matters

This warm weather pattern is a welcome change for the region after a period of winter storms, providing a boost to outdoor activities and potentially impacting energy usage and water consumption.

The details

A blocking high pressure ridge will build west of Baja California, bringing warm and quiet weather to the San Diego area. Temperatures are expected to reach the mid-70s at the coast and low-80s inland, with the mountains seeing highs in the 50s and 60s. The lower deserts could see temperatures reach the 90s by Wednesday.

• Today, high temperatures are expected to reach the mid-70s at the coast and right around 70 degrees.
• On Monday, highs will bump up around 5 degrees region-wide.
• Through Wednesday, temperatures are expected to plateau in the low-70s to low-80s throughout the coastal basin, with a 50/50 chance for highs above 80 degrees for inland areas.
• By Wednesday, high temperatures in the lower deserts are likely (70-90%) to reach 90 degrees and above.
