‘GOLDILOCKS’ WEATHER WILL MAKE COUNTY NOT TOO HOT, NOT TOO COLD

The National Weather Service says San Diego County will experience ‘Goldilocks’ conditions through Monday with daytime highs that are neither too hot nor too cold.

The daytime high in San Diego will be in the 59- to 60degree range each day. It will be a couple of degrees cooler farther inland, in places like Escondido and Barona. Julian will fluctuate from 45 to 49 degrees.

The temperature will be cooler than normal. The seasonal high in San Diego is 66. But there won’t be any of the raw, biting winds that chilled the county over the past week. And the sun will be out.

The stable, moderate weather will cause rapid snow melt at Lake Cuyamaca, Palomar Mountain and Mount Laguna. A lot of snow already has disappeared at lower elevations. Forecasters said the best place to go to actually touch the snow is Mount Laguna.

The mountain snow is visible from most areas of the county, but it is getting dimmer because it loses some of its reflectivity over time.

Skies will remain mostly clear for the next three to four days. On Monday, early risers should be able to see the International Space Station fly overhead for four minutes starting at 5:20 a.m., according to NASA. Look for the station just above the east-northeast horizon.

San Diego International Airport averages 1.46 inches of rain during March. Forecasters said a bit of drizzle might fall on Sunday. But the region will be generally dry for at least a week.

The U.S. Climate Prediction Center said that it is possible that the jet stream will drop south in midMarch, potentially bringing Southern California substantial rain.
