June Gloom Lingers This Weekend as High Pressure Poised to Deliver Midweek Inland Heat

A building western high will compress the coastal marine layer and push inland highs into the upper 80s and 90s next week.

Overview

Thick marine layer continues this weekend with low clouds, patchy drizzle and cool coastal highs that leave Central Coast and San Diego beaches noticeably below normal.
A Beach Hazard Statement remains in effect for the entire San Diego coast through Sunday evening for elevated surf up to 6 feet and strong rip currents that endanger swimmers.
Gusty westerly winds of 25 to 45 mph are expected through mountain passes and desert areas this weekend, raising risks of blowing dust, reduced visibility and localized fire-weather concerns.
Forecast models show the pattern changing starting Monday and peaking Wednesday when the upper-level high compresses the marine layer and inland valleys could reach the upper 80s to mid 90s.
The marine layer’s compression will keep immediate coast cooler while exposing inland communities to heat risks and higher overnight temperatures, and forecasters note a small (about 20%) chance of a brief Central Coast shower or thunderstorm midweek.
