NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED THURSDAY 3-24-2022

*Updated at 9 AM Monday to change timing of rainfall*

Computer projections have been very consistent over the past couple days, so I can confidently say that some much needed rainfall will return to our area next Monday into early Tuesday. 

It's looking like this will come in two waves. The first round of rainfall will arrive around 11 AM Monday, where showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible. This round will exit around 5 PM.

The second wave will arrive Monday evening and Monday night, when the core of the system passes overhead. There is a better chance for thunderstorms during this time. These can bring downpours, wind and possibly hail.

Rain totals will range from 0.5 to 1.5" across the area, with isolated areas getting 2.0"

Snow levels will stay fairly high with this system, so local mountains might see some snow, but no accumulations. However, the highest peaks in the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains will receive several inches of snow.

Most of the precipitation will exit by early Tuesday morning. I'll keep an eye on this storm and bring updates if needed.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED FRIDAY 3-18-2022

A small storm system will pass the area this weekend and bring a chance for a few showers from 9 PM Saturday to 9 AM Sunday. Rain totals will stay below 0.25" across the area. Snow levels will range from 7,000 to 9,000 feet, so local mountains won't see any snow.

You can see a storm system spinning in the Gulf of Alaska in the satellite loop below. A piece of energy in the southern region of this system will break away and head southward towards Southern California.

This is a small system with limited moisture, so it won't bring the rainfall that we desperately need. I've posted the computer projected rain totals below. Some isolated areas in the mountains could receive a quarter inch of rainfall, otherwise, most areas will be much less, or see no rain at all.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED TUESDAY 3-8-2022

Over the next two days, a small storm system will dive southward along the western coastline of Canada and the United States. It will bring Southern California a quick chance for rain on Thursday.

An isolated light shower is possible Thursday morning (20%), then a better chance for a shower or quick downpour will arrive in the afternoon and early evening (40%). The rain chance will exit by 10 PM.

Snow levels will be fairly high for this event, 6,000 to 7,000 feet, so accumulations will be minimal to none.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED TUESDAY 3-1-2022

A couple storm systems will pass the area and bring rain back to our area Thursday night into early Friday. Periods of rain will then persist intermittently through Saturday. 

In the satellite loop below, you can see the first system several hundred miles off the coast in the Pacific Ocean. The second system is farther north developing in the Gulf of Alaska.

Rain totals will range from 0.25" to 1" for coastal and inland areas. Mountains could receive 1 to 2". Snow levels should drop low enough for a few inches of snowfall in local mountains.

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