The skies over the Pacific Ocean are turbulent. The satellite loop below shows a small system entering the Pacific NW, another one farther West over the central Pacific, and a third one diving out of the Gulf of Alaska.
This is typical during the transitional months of spring. It can also make for challenging forecasts. With that said, it looks like periods of rain will be likely over this weekend. It won't be a complete washout, but you should plan accordingly.
Showers should arrive late Saturday morning and then persist intermittently through Sunday. The best chance for isolated downpours will be Saturday evening into early Sunday morning. Showers should dissipate by Sunday afternoon, however, isolated showers will persist in the mountains until Sunday night.
Snow levels will remain high, so I'm not expecting any snow accumulations in local San Diego mountains, though there could be a brief wintry mix on the highest peaks.
I'm watching another system that could bring more rain for the weekend of Saturday, 3/30. It's still far away, so there will be some adjusting on the time and intensity of this storm. I'll keep you posted.
