Chance Of Rain, Thunderstorms Forecasted In San Diego County

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA – A low-pressure system sweeping through Southern California could bring showers and thunderstorms to the San Diego area, according to the National Weather Service.

As moisture from Hurricane Rosa – now a tropical depression – leaves the region, the storm system – largely a product of an upper-level low-pressure system that originated in the central Pacific – is expected to reach San Diego County Wednesday morning and remain through Thursday morning, with a roughly 35 percent chance of rain in the morning and a 65 percent chance in the afternoon, the NWS said.

National Weather Service meteorologists say the storm will drop over a quarter-inch of rain in mountain areas, such as Julian, and less than one-tenth of an inch in desert areas.

San Diego was expected to receive around one-tenth of an inch of rain and coastal areas were expected to get over one-tenth of an inch, according to the NWS.

A slight chance of thunderstorms in northern areas of county is possible Wednesday afternoon.
