Second Wave of Pacific Storm Is Delaying Flights at San Diego Airport and Covering Mount Laguna With Snow

The second wave of a dawdling Pacific storm hit San Diego County before dawn Wednesday, producing 76 mph winds on Palomar Mountain, 50 mph gusts at coast, heavy rain in such cities as Escondido and Valley Center, lightning near Miramar, and snow that’s continuing to fall on Mount Laguna, which could end up with one foot of the white power by late today, the National Weather Service said.

The weather also delayed 28 flights through 7:00 a.m. at San Diego International Airport and dropped enough rain to make freeways slick during the morning rush hour.
