SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — After a soggy and windy start to the day, conditions are calm.
Although the passing storm wasn't too dramatic, some of our communities collected impressive amounts, with Palomar Mountain recording nearly half an inch of rain with 0.32". Other areas west of the mountains, including Mount Woodson and Chula Vista, saw a little over a tenth of an inch. Strong winds also targeted the eastern slopes and deserts earlier this morning, with Harrison Park clocking in 57mph gusts and 54mph gusts for Mount Laguna.
Tuesday will remain tranquil with better clearing and slightly warmer conditions as weak ridging takes hold. However, we'll stay below our 30-year average.
On Wednesday, a cut-off low off the Pacific Northwest dives south, amplifying onshore flow for Southern California. We'll remain dry but expect another round of gusty winds and cooler conditions. A series of troughs will keep things cool and below average through the weekend, with a chance for showers returning Saturday.
Tuesday's Highs:
Coast: 69-73
Inland: 73-78
Mountains: 67-75
Deserts: 84-87
