A storm system sweeping across California will largely avoid San Diego, although the county will see some of the storm's effects in the form of cooler temperatures, gusty winds and high surf.
The distant storm will cool temperatures to start the week, with inland valleys experiencing nippy weather in particular. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a frost advisory for inland communities that was in effect through 8 a.m., with temperatures potentially reaching as low as 30 degrees.
At the coast, choppy surf and possible rip currents are expected in NWS' high surf advisory, which will be in effect through 11 a.m. Tuesday.
