San Diego heads into the weekend under monsoon-driven heat and humidity. The National Weather Service forecasts a high near 73 degrees Friday in the city of San Diego with decreasing clouds, and a high near 72 Saturday under mostly cloudy skies. Coastal and valley highs are running up to five degrees above seasonal averages, and unusually warm overnight lows are limiting the region's ability to cool down between afternoon peaks. A heat advisory remains in effect Friday for inland communities including Santee, El Cajon, Lakeside, and Alpine.
Saturday offers a dense slate of options. The 15th annual San Diego Brew Festival runs noon to 4 p.m. at Liberty Station's NTC Park, featuring more than 70 breweries and over 200 beers with unlimited samples. Del Mar's summer racing season continues with the Turf & Surf Fest on Saturday as well. The Rady Shell presents 'Stayin' Alive: The Bee Gees & Beyond' with RAJATON and the San Diego Symphony Orchestra on Saturday evening, followed Sunday night by the Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes.
Sunday, August 9th, Hillcrest CityFest takes over nine blocks of 5th Avenue from noon to 11 p.m., with two stages, a new wine garden, and billing as San Diego's largest free music festival. The week's major threads carry into the weekend: the West Nile situation warrants continued vigilance as peak transmission season deepens, the Barrio Logan community faces an immediate adjustment following its post office closure, El Cajon's council race will clarify as the post-deadline field takes shape, and the Padres — with Robbie Ray on the mound tonight — begin what may be a defining series for their September playoff prospects.
