Practically everyone in San Diego County will be waking up to slick roads leftover from the storm system hitting southern California on Wednesday night.
Scattered showers and thunderstorm swept through the area starting around 4:00 p.m. and continuing into the early hours of Thursday morning.
By the Thursday-morning commute, conditions will improve as a high pressure system starts to make its way into the area.
Rain will transition to snow this evening as temperatures plummet in mountain communities above 5,000', including Palomar Mountain and Mount Laguna. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the mountains starting at 8 p.m. Wednesday and lasting through Thursday afternoon. Travel will be hazardous tonight through tomorrow morning, so use extreme caution on the passes or hold off on travel, especially if you're in a high-profile vehicle until the rain, snow, and winds subside Thursday afternoon.
The rain is fast-moving and will be gone by late Thursday, although we could continue to see a pop-up shower or two.
We're dry Friday through the weekend, with temperatures climbing closer to seasonal and low 70s returning inland.
Wednesday's Highs:
Coast: 62-65°
Inland: 60-62°
Mountains: 47-55°
Deserts: 46-53°
