Rain has been soaking the county and will lead to a messy evening commute with heavy rain at times continuing into tonight. A few showers linger into Wednesday morning but activity will be tapering off, but the morning commute may lead to a slow drive with wet roads and isolated showers.
We've seen areas of flooding across the county and with more rain tonight expect more in areas that are prone to flooding. A Flood Watch continues until 7am Wednesday for the coast, inland and mountain communities.
Rainfall totals have been impressive with average totals between .50 to 2" from the coast to the mountains while Palomar Mountain has picked up over 6" of rainfall! Check out the rainfall totals where you live here.
This storm has also packed with the strongest wind gusts reported at Cuyamaca Peak at 73mph! Check out how strong the wind got where you live here. The mountain Wind Advisory lasts until 4am Wednesday for southwesterly winds of 25 to 35mph and gusts to 60mph.
Snow levels will drop to 4,500' to 5,000' by Wednesday morning which is when we may see a dusting at the highest peaks of Palomar Mountain, Mt. Laguna and Lookout Mountain, but by then most of the moisture will have been squeezed out so any totals will be light.
Wednesday will be the coldest day with temperatures trending 10 to 20 degrees below average! Expect upper 50s to mid 60s for the coastal and inland communities, low 40s in the mountains and 60s in the deserts.
Showers taper off around sunrise Wednesday with sunshine returning Thursday and warming into the weekend, though still trending several degrees shy of normal.
Wednesday's Highs:
Coast: 60-63°
Inland: 55-62°
Mountains: 40-54°
Deserts: 66-69°
