New Year's Eve in San Diego is expected to look mostly dry, with a chance for a few stray showers lingering from Saturday.
"We cannot rule out a stray shower here and there through the morning hours [on Sunday]," NBC 7 meteorologist Francella Perez said Saturday night.
Sunday is expected to be a cool day with high temperatures around 5 degrees below normal seasonal temperatures. The coasts and valleys will stay in the mid-60s, mountain folks will feel temperatures near 50 and mid-60s for desert dwellers.
Basically, if you're heading out for New Year's Eve, throw on something warm and if possible, pick water-resistant shoes. Even if the showers are gone, puddles will likely persist.

A bout of high surf has been hitting San Diego's coast and will continue into early next week, bringing chances of coastal flooding in low-lying areas of town. Sunday's waves won't be as high as Saturday's, but we will still see some waves between 5-8 feet with some sets up to 12 feet.
Don't put the rain boots away just yet. Although rain chances lessen on Sunday, there's another chance of rain next week — the first week of 2024 — according to the National Weather Service of San Diego.
