We dry out just in time for the weekend with a quick warm-up on tap when we'll see 70s for the inland areas by Sunday, near 60 in the mountains and near 80 in the deserts, while the coast will be in the 60s.
A weaker storm will bring another chance of showers Monday evening into early Tuesday morning. Things dry out and warm up again by Wednesday, with sunshine returning, turning even warmer as spring begins on Thursday. There may be a few more chances of light rain before the end of the month but it does look like the main storm track will stay farther north.
This rain is putting a dent in our drought conditions; earlier this month, San Diego's deficit was at 6"; it is now down to 4.15". San Diego remains at level three drought or Extreme Drought.
