NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED TUESDAY 3-23-2021

Our next storm system has moved out of the Gulf of Alaska and is gliding southward along the coast of British Colombia. You can spot the clouds in the satellite loop below. Those clouds will move into our skies Thursday morning. 

Rain showers will develop by early Thursday afternoon. Periods of light to moderate showers will persist through Thursday night and into Friday. Rain showers should diminish by late Friday afternoon and Friday evening. 

Coastal and inland areas will receive 0.2 to 0.5" of rainfall. Mountain areas will get 1.0 to 1.5". I've included the computer projected rain totals below.

Snow levels will start at 7,000-8,000 feet Thursday and then drop to around 4,500-5,500 feet by Friday.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SUNDAY 3-14-2021

Patches of drizzle and light rain will develop tonight. A better chance for moderate rainfall will arrive by midday tomorrow (10 AM to 3 PM). An isolated downpour is also possible during this time. Most showers will exit coastal and inland areas by Monday evening, however, snow showers will persist in the mountains through most of Monday night. Rain totals will only be around 0.25" for coastal and inland areas, though higher elevations could get 0.5 to 1.0".

Snow levels will start at 6,000 to 7,000 feet tonight, then drop to 5,500 to 6,500 feet Monday morning. Levels will then drop as low as 4,000 feet by Monday evening. Local mountains will receive a few inches of additional snow. 

I've posted computer projections for rain and snow accumulations below.

Another quick chance for rain could arrive by this upcoming Sunday. I'll keep an eye on it and bring  updates as it approaches.

SAN DIEGO SNOW TOTALS: WEDNESDAY 3-10-2021 TO FRIDAY 3-12-2021

It's a snowy scene on the La Cima webcam this morning (below). The Mount Laguna camera is still covered in clouds, so I'll post an image later today. It was an impressive snow in the local mountains! Here are some of the totals below.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SUNDAY 3-7-2021

Patchy mist and drizzle will move through the area tonight, but I'm keeping my eye up north. The core of the next storm system is a few hundred miles off the coast of Seattle. You can spot it spiraling in the satellite loop below. Over the next couple days it will meander down the coast and settle into our area for the second half of the workweek.

Scattered showers and an occasional downpour will be possible intermittently Tuesday evening and persist through the day on Wednesday and Thursday. A lingering isolated shower or thunderstorm will be possible on Friday as the core of the system passes overhead. Coastal and inland 3-day rain totals should be 1" or less. Isolated areas in the mountains could approach 2".

Snow levels will range from 4,500 to 5,500 feet for this system. 

I've posted the computer projected rain and snow totals below.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED MONDAY 3-1-2021

I've said this before, but computer forecasts have been extremely unreliable this La Nina rain season. For this reason, I'm reluctant to post to this blog until the data becomes more consistent. This upcoming rain chance is no exception!

There is a storm system just a few hundred miles off the Northern California coast. You can see the system in the satellite loop below. This system will meander our way by Wednesday and bring a quick round of showers and isolated thunderstorms (heavy rain and hail with the strongest ones), starting late morning and lasting into the evening. This system will exit our area Wednesday night. Snow levels will stay fairly high: ranging 6,000 to 7,000 feet.

I'm watching a couple other systems: one for Saturday and another next Tuesday/Wednesday. Both don't look too promising for significant rainfall, but we'll take what we can get!

Most of the long range computer projections show us staying in a generally cooler weather pattern for the next couple weeks. Instead of highs in the 70s, which we've seen over the past several days, temperatures will drop back to the mid to upper 60s, which are more normal for this time of the year.
