SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — We are now less than 24 hours from the projected splashdown of the Artemis II crew!
And we are all set to welcome them back in San Diego’s style: with some good weather.
Orion is expected to land at 5:07 p.m., around 100 miles off our coast.
We could see some partly cloudy skies along the coastline during that time, along with some light winds.
Temperatures for coastal areas will reach upper 60s and low 70s.
Inland areas will be in the mid 70s, while the mountains will be in the mid 60s.
Our deserts will be in the upper 80s and low 90s.
Higher wind gusts will be moving in from the west, bringing some breezy conditions to our mountains and deserts.
Some spots could see gusts reach 30 to 40 m.p.h.
The system that we originally thought could impact splashdown visibility will be holding off until the weekend.
An area of low pressure will be bringing cooler temperatures, higher wind gusts, and rain chances.
Temps will drop 5 to 10 degrees, as rain chances begin to pick up on Saturday.
Sunday morning has the highest chance of showers — most spots across the county will see about a half an inch of rain.
We see those chances linger through Monday, before we dry up and warm up next week.
By mid-next week, most areas will be back in the mid 60s to low 70s.
Friday's Highs:
Coast: 68-73
Inland: 73-78°
Mountains: 63-73°
Deserts: 86-91°
