San Diego’s Unseasonably Cold, Wet Weather Will Be Gone by Tuesday

A cold Pacific storm that dropped rain across the eastern half of San Diego County over the weekend will clear by Tuesday, allowing temperatures to return to seasonal levels by Thursday, the National Weather Service says. The system was weak, but it dropped 0.67 inches of precipitation on Otay Mountain, 0.34 inches in Alpine, and 0.26 inches in Julian, during the 24-hour period ending at 3:30 p.m. Sunday. The rain should help reduce the risk of wildfires.
