Forecasters stated on Sunday that San Diego County would likely see cloudy skies and the possibility of additional light showers through Monday and possibly into Tuesday.
Inland regions were seeing significantly cooler and windier weather, along with the potential for thunderstorms, as a powerful system of low pressure moved into the area.
“The low will continue to slowly push eastward on Monday as another weak embedded shortwave keeps the trough overhead. This will allow for another chance of showers for the mountains and deserts Monday afternoon and evening,” the National Weather Service said in a discussion.
“Areas closer to the coast will gradually clear with some sunshine by Monday afternoon,” forecasters added. “Mostly sunny and dry conditions will move into the region by Tuesday, though areas near Big Bear may see a stray shower.”
A high-risk rip current is predicted for San Diego on Monday, with waves between 4 and 6 feet high and west swell as high as 270 degrees. On Sunday, a high surf advisory will be in force until at least 11 p.m.
“Sustained winds 10 to 20 knots over the coastal waters through this afternoon, from the northwest in the outer waters and from the southwest nearshore. In addition to this, combined steep seas of 8-11 feet in the outer coastal waters and 6-8 feet in inner coastal waters this morning before gradually lowering this afternoon into Monday,” marine forecasters said.
A high of 61 degrees is predicted for Ramona and 74 degrees for Borrego Springs on Sunday, which would tie the daily record for the coldest high temperatures in both locations, according to the NWS. These highs are far below the typical average.
On the other hand, Monday will see a little increase in temperature, and Tuesday will bring even warmer conditions.
