Hazy sunshine continues across San Diego County

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Smoke from the Valley Fire, now 79 percent

contained, continued across San Diego County today, resulting in dim, hazy

sunshine, the National Weather Service said.

High pressure will remain in control of the weather over the Southwest

much of this week, but the center will shift farther south by midweek,

resulting in warmer weather in the county, and should help reduce the areas of

smoke and haze, the NWS said.

``This last full week of summer will be a warm one, even as onshore

flow prevails,'' forecasters said. ``A weak sea breeze will moderate afternoon

temperatures along the coast each day, with some patchy low clouds and fog

possible nights and mornings.''

Cooler weather will arrive late in the week with an incoming Pacific

trough, the NWS said.

High temperatures along the coast Sunday will be 75-80 degrees with

overnight lows of 59-64. Inland highs will be 84-89 with overnight lows of 60-

65.

Western valley highs will be 86-91, and 91-96 near the foothills.

Mountain highs will be 87-93 with overnight lows of 58-67. Desert highs will be

103-108 with overnight lows of 73-80.

Radar shows smoke remaining fully over Southern California through at

least Monday, forecasters said, so haze will continue through Monday with

slowly warming conditions.
