NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED WEDNESDAY 12-27-2023

The weather pattern is going to become more active in the coming days. The first of many storm systems is currently in the Pacific Ocean headed this way. You can spot it spinning in the satellite loop below. 

This system will bring showers Friday night and intermittently through the day Saturday. I've posted the computer projected rain totals through Sunday morning below. 

The next system is more challenging to forecast. The computer projections diverge with some bringing the storm overhead, while others push it south. I'm leaning towards the southern route, though we could still see some stray showers or light rain Sunday 12/31 into early Monday 1/1. 

Yet another system will arrive for the middle of next week. Computer projections are more consistent with this storm. They show rain arriving Wednesday 1/3 and lasting into Thursday 1/4. 

Lastly, long range projections show a possible 4th system by Saturday 1/6 into Sunday 1/7. Obviously this is far away, so there will be be some adjustments to the forecast.

I'll keep an eye on the scenario and bring more updates as the data becomes more concrete.

 

SAN DIEGO RAIN TOTALS: THURSDAY 12-21-2023 TO FRIDAY 12-22-2023

Isolated showers and downpours are still possible through 6 PM today as the core of the storm system passes to our south. Here are the rain totals from last night into this morning. I'll post the final numbers later this evening.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SATURDAY 12-16-2023

A large storm system is churning off the California coast. You can easily spot it on the satellite loop below. 

This system will weaken and move to our north, pulling some moisture into our area for the start of the workweek. An occasional shower will be possible intermittently Monday through Wednesday.

A better chance for rain will arrive when a stronger system dives out of the Gulf of Alaska and settles into the region. Periods of rain and isolated downpours will be possible Wednesday night through Friday.

I've included the projected rain amounts through Friday night. Totals will range from 1 to 3" across the area. These numbers will be greatly affected by the track of the system, so I'll keep an eye on it and bring updates when needed.
