More Rain, Wind to Move Through San Diego Region

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA – The spring-like weather in San Diego County over the weekend is expected to give way to periods of rain and strong winds in the mountains and deserts this week, according to the National Weather Service.

The first rain will move through the region Monday morning, the NWS says, with the next rain arriving late Tuesday and continuing Wednesday. A third rain event will arrive Thursday, followed by a dry and cool offshore flow that is expected to develop this weekend, according to the NWS.

A wind advisory for San Diego County mountains and deserts is expected to last until 10 p.m. Monday.

While it's expected to be wet this week, it will be nothing like what some parts of the state have been experiencing. Much of northern and central California have been pelted with heavy rain and snow from a so-called atmospheric river over the weekend.

The severe weather across the state and expected rain locally has San Diego firefighters, lifeguards and river rescue teams on alert and ready to respond to local and statewide emergencies, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said.
