March 9, 2026 2:49 pm

Cooler weather can be expected through Tuesday as onshore winds begin to take hold. The area of low pressure to south has the chance to bring light showers over San Diego through this evening. High pressure will move over the area by Wednesday into the first half of next week, bringing record setting heat and increased heat risk.

Widespread showers and thunderstorms with a severe weather and flash flood risk expected across the Midwest and central/southern Plains Tuesday. Continued active pattern for the Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies will bring lower elevation coastal/valley rain and heavy high elevation snow. Well above average temperatures across most of the country will continue into the first half of the week with daily record-tying/breaking highs possible.
