Colder Pacific Storm to Hit San Diego County During Monday Evening Commute

Forecasters warn of low snow levels, with a possible follow-up system late week.

Overview

  • National Weather Service guidance calls for up to about 1 inch of rain from Monday evening into Tuesday, with showers moving out by Wednesday morning.
  • The incoming system carries colder air that may lower snow levels to around 5,000 feet, bringing flurries to Palomar Mountain and Mount Laguna and 1–3 inches possible on higher peaks.
  • Most of the county picked up 1–3 inches of rain over the weekend, and San Diego International Airport’s November total reached 1.43 inches, which is above the monthly average.
  • Short-range forecasts keep the Monday–Tuesday total below an inch for many areas, with the timing likely to affect the evening commute.
  • Temperatures run 5–10 degrees below normal early in the week before a gradual warmup, as forecasters monitor the chance of another system around Thursday.
