A National Weather Service coastal flood advisory covering San Diego County runs through tonight, with evening high tides between 7.2 and 7.5 feet expected to arrive roughly between 7:30 and 10 p.m. Low-lying beach parking lots and roads near Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, and Mission Beach have seen minor overflow during prior high-tide windows under the advisory. Tonight marks the final wave of that advisory period.
Inland and mountain areas remain under the tail end of monsoonal moisture, with isolated afternoon thunderstorms possible before the moisture plume diminishes. Anyone heading into the backcountry or mountains — particularly areas with recent burn scars — should be alert to lightning risk and the potential for flash flooding in drainages even from storms that appear modest on radar. Outflow winds from isolated cells can move quickly. Coastal temperatures remain mild with the marine layer holding, while inland valleys are warm but not at the extremes that prompted closures of three backcountry preserves earlier this month.
