San Diego County Will Stay Unseasonably Warm Until Modest Storm Arrives This Weekend

San Diego County’s long stretch of unseasonably warm, dry weather will last until Friday, when a modest storm is expected to begin dropping about a quarter-inch of precipitation in many areas, possibly triggering lightning on Saturday, the National Weather Service says.

The daytime high at San Diego International Airport is forecast to reach 73 on Tuesday, 75 on Wednesday, 73 on Thursday, 72 on Friday and 68 on Saturday. The seasonal average is 68.
