HAPPINESS

IS A WARM CUP

March 6, 2026 5:14 pm

Gusty Santa Ana winds will continue through the weekend across the mountains into the western valleys as an area of low pressure nears the region. This will also bring warmer weather with minimal cloud cover. The system will move southward into Mexico, where there is a small chance for light rain over San Diego County by late Sunday into Monday. High pressure will move over the region for much of next week, bringing warm and dry weather.

Severe thunderstorms and heavy rain over the central U.S. for the remainder of today will shift to the southern Plains and farther north to the Northeast on Saturday. Moderate to heavy snow across the central High Plains Friday afternoon will taper off tonight as wintry mix moves quickly across the upper Midwest tonight. Well above average to record warmth pushing eastward into the eastern U.S. as anomalous warmth emerges over the northern Plains during the weekend.
