San Diego's Weather Forecast for Wednesday, August 16, 2023: Excessive heat with mountain thunderstorms

Posted
and last updated

Excessive heat continues, with daytime highs climbing above our 30-year average, triggering an Excessive Heat Warning and Heat Advisory for the county's eastern half through Thursday night. Limit time outside, avoid strenuous outdoor activities, stay hydrated, and take plenty of breaks in the shade if you work in the field.

Isolated thunderstorms hit the mountains this afternoon, thanks to an ongoing surge of monsoonal moisture. Yesterday Julian rapidly collected close to half an inch of rain, triggering a Flash Flood Warning. This afternoon we could see similar totals for the mountain communities.

Thursday remains hot, but you can expect drier conditions with better clearing.

Tropical Storm Hilary will move towards us from Mexico over the weekend, bringing us rainfall that will peak Sunday and Monday. During this time, temperatures will also take a dip.
