Happy Tuesday San Diego! I'd say today might be the best day weather wise across our region, we are much warmer than the temps we saw over the weekend and not even waking up to patchy fog! Temperatures are on the rise, but not evenly across the board. For coastal and inland spots, tomorrow will be the warmest day of the week before things cool back down. However, mountain and desert areas will see their warmest temperatures by Friday, with desert highs climbing back into the low 90s.
