A winter storm brought much-needed rainfall along with high winds to the San Diego region Thursday.
But the heaviest showers are still to come – more rain is expected Thursday evening into early Friday, forecasters advised.
As of late morning, though, the unsettled atmospheric system had dropped anywhere from a tenth of an inch or less to nearly three inches of rain across the county while in generating some winds that exceeded 50 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Good morning! ☔️? Taking a look from above, you can see a large area of low pressure moving into California. Light showers will be turning heavier later this afternoon and especially overnight. Drive safely out there, my friends ?? #CAwx pic.twitter.com/PGk7cjdrF7
— NWS San Diego (@NWSSanDiego) February 13, 2025The storm, which began moving over the parched region on Tuesday, prompted the NWS to issue a wind advisory effective through 4 a.m. Saturday for highland and desert communities and a flood watch through late Thursday night along the coastline.
As of 10:30 a.m. Thursday, the highest local two-day precipitation totals were at Mount Palomar, with 2.99 inches, followed by 2.78 on Birch Hill; 1.93 in Mesa Grande, 1.72 in San Onofre and 1.51 in Pine Hills.
Those areas with more than an inch of rain included: 1.4 at Lake Cuyamaca; 1.22 in Descanso and at Henshaw Dam; 1.2 at Rainbow Camp and in Santa Ysabel; 1.18 at Lake Wohlford; 1.17 in Julian; 1.13 in Fallbrook; 1.11 in Skyline Ranch; 1.09 in Lower Oat Flats and on Volcan Mountain, and 1.07 in Fallbrook.
Escondido, Otay Mountain, Mount Woodson, San Marcos, Bonsall, Oceanside, Valley Center and Carlsbad received around an inch of rain or slightly less.
Poway, La Mesa and Santee each saw around a half inch of rain from the storm. San Diego areas, including the San Diego International Airport, Mission Valley and Point Loma, saw around a third of an inch or less.
The storm also has delivered winds reaching speeds of 25 to 30 mph along the coast and across the inland valleys, and as high as 54 mph in the area of Mount Laguna, according to meteorologists.
To prepare for inclement conditions, the city of San Diego has been monitoring some 46,000 storm drains and will close flood-prone Mission Valley roads if needed, officials said.
Residents can report weather-related problems, such as flooding or downed trees, by using the Get It Done app or by calling 619-527-7500.
In addition, San Diego Gas & Electric has been preparing for the storm by increasing the number of crews available in case of downed power lines.
On Friday, the rainfall is expected to weaken and become increasingly intermittent before dwindling away entirely late in the evening. Fair conditions will return Saturday and prevail into much of next week, with average or slightly higher maximum temperatures for this time of year in the forecast.
