SAN DIEGO (KGTV) \u2014 Another gray start greeted much of San Diego County Saturday morning as a deeper marine layer spread low clouds well into the valleys.<\/p>\n
The cooler pattern will continue through the weekend, especially for inland communities, as stronger onshore flow keeps temperatures below average for mid-May.<\/p>\n
Patchy drizzle is also possible at times near the coast and along the coastal mountain slopes during the overnight and morning hours.<\/p>\n
The bigger weather story this weekend will be the wind.<\/p>\n
Strong west-to-southwest winds are expected to develop across the mountains and deserts Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening, with widespread gusts between 40 and 50 miles per hour. Some wind-prone areas could see isolated gusts topping 60 miles per hour.<\/p>\n
The gusty conditions could create blowing dust in desert areas, especially near the Coachella Valley, along with difficult driving conditions through mountain passes.<\/p>\n
The marine layer is expected to remain persistent through the weekend, with clouds pushing inland each night and gradual afternoon clearing near the coast.<\/p>\n
By Monday, conditions begin to shift.High pressure will start rebuilding across Southern California, allowing temperatures to gradually warm through Tuesday and Wednesday while winds weaken.<\/p>\n
Later next week, San Diego is expected to return to a more typical \u201cMay Gray\u201d setup, featuring morning cloud cover, afternoon sunshine near the coast, and a slight cooldown heading into Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n
The overall takeaway: expect a cooler, cloudier weekend with gusty mountain and desert winds before warmer weather returns during the first half of next week.<\/p>\n
