HEAT ON WAY BACK


The cool, damp weather will soon be history.

The marine layer will last into Saturday, preventing daytime highs at the coast from rising above 66 degrees in San Diego -- the seasonal average. But the National Weather Service says that a major high pressure system will evolve on Sunday, sending highs to 72 in San Diego and about five degrees higher inland. It'll be the start of a sharp warmup that will peak on Tuesday when the daytime high reaches 87 in San Diego -- a figure that's more than 20 degrees above normal.

Inland highs will reach or surpass 90.

Wavecast: The surf will be in the 2' to 3' range along most of the coast throughout the weekend. Sea surface temps: 60-61 degrees.
