More Rain On The Way: Storms To Bring Rain, Winds To San Diego County

SAN DIEGO, CA — Not one, but two potentially damaging storms could soon hit San Diego County after last week's winter storm brought historic rainfall and flash floods to the region.

A storm is expected to bring widespread rain, strong winds and mountain snow Thursday through Friday, according to the National Weather Service. After a mostly dry weekend, another storm could arrive late Sunday or Monday.

"A cold front and atmospheric river will move through Southern California on Thursday and bring wind and widespread precipitation," NWS San Diego wrote Monday. "The cold air mass and main upper level trough will bring showers on Friday.

"The weekend will be mostly dry and the next Pacific storm and atmospheric river is expected late Sunday and Monday which will bring more widespread precipitation," forecasters added.

The expected storms come after last week's winter storm caused millions of dollars of damage, damaged hundreds of homes, flooded streets and roadways, and created mudslides and erosion in the region. The National Weather Service reported that Jan. 22 was the fourth wettest day recorded in San Diego since 1850.
