ABC 10News Pinpoint Weather with Max Goldwasser: Say goodbye to these wildly warm temps

and last updated

They were nice while they lasted, weren't they! We still saw some record temps stick around Sunday, but a big drop in daytime highs will hit us to start the work week.

Here are the cities that set a new record or tied an old one Sunday:

Chula Vista: 87 (old record was 82 set in 2013)
Escondido: 90 (old record was 89 set in 1901)
Ramona: 84 (tied old record of 84 set in 2009)
Alpine: 85 (tied old record of 85 set in 2022)
El Cajon: 89 (tied old record of 89 set in 2009)
Lake Cuyamaca: 73 (tied old record of 73 set in 2016)
Borrego: 94 (old record was 92 set in 1999)

That made it five straight days in a row with a new record in Borrego.

Monday should start on the cool side for the valleys and mountains especially, where some cities will be waking up in the 40s. The coast and valleys might see some patchy morning fog as well.

Temperatures between Sunday and Monday will take a steep dip overall, topping out about 10-20 degrees cooler across the board.

Even with the dip, that only puts us back to average for the coast and valleys, and still 5-10 degrees above normal in the mountains and deserts.

Here's a peek at some of the notable declines:

The mountains and deserts will see wind speeds strengthen in the afternoon again, even breezier than on Sunday. Westerly winds will be sustained between 20-30 mph with some gusts reaching 45-50+ mph.

In the coast and valleys, temperatures will gradually rebound throughout the week, increasing about 10 degrees from start to finish.

For the mountains and deserts — a different story. Temperatures increase a bit Tuesday and Wednesday before falling back off through Saturday.

Don't forget to set your clocks an hour forward before you fall asleep Saturday night because we spring forward for daylight saving at 2 a.m. Sunday.

Monday's Highs: 
Coast: 64-69°
Inland: 69-75°
Mountains: 58-70°
Deserts: 79-86°
