NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED WEDNESDAY 12-14-2016

The two storm system are now merging in the Pacific. You can spot the two spirals in the satellite imagery below. They are drawing in a good amount of moisture, so we will see increasing clouds through Thursday.

Rain showers will move into the area Thursday evening and especially Thursday night. The rain will persist though Friday morning. Showers will taper into Friday afternoon.

Snow levels will be fairly high for this event, though there will be snow in the highest peaks of the San Bernardino Mountains.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SUNDAY 12-11-2016

Computer forecasts have been fairly consistent with a chance for rain at the end of the workweek. Regardless, I'm still a little skeptical, given their poor performance over the past couple weeks.

As it stands, there is a storm system currently spinning in the Gulf of Alaska. In addition, there is another system north of Hawaii. You can spot both of them on the satellite imagery below. If the computer forecasts are correct, these systems will merge and head our way late Thursday into early Friday. Best chance for rain would be Friday morning.

This is a tricky forecast, so confidence is somewhat low. I'll continue to monitor it and bring another update once the data solidifies.
