It looks like we finally have a legitimate chance at some good rainfall in our area. A storm system is brewing in the Western Aleutian Islands of Alaska, thousands of miles away.
A small storm will race ahead of this system and bring us showers on-and-off through Wednesday.
We will then have a better chance for moderate showers Thursday, especially late in the day. As the core of the system approaches, moderate showers and isolated downpours will be possible Thursday night into early Friday. A few showers will linger into Friday afternoon, then things will dry out in the evening.
Like most of this season, snow levels will stay fairly high, so snow chances are pretty slim for local mountains in San Diego County. There will be a brief changeover as the core of the system passes late Friday.
I've posted the computer projected rain and snow totals below. Rain totals will range from 1 to 4" across the County. We need it!
