A fast-moving storm could bring 0.25 inches to 0.50 inches of rain to San Diego this weekend, along with a dusting of snow to the county’s highest mountain peaks. The National Weather Service says the system will blow ashore late Saturday and could produce scattered rain before midnight. But the heaviest rain will fall overnight and into the morning hours. Inland valleys and foothills are more likely to receive between 0.50’’ inches and 1 inch of rain. The daytime highs will be on the cool side: 62 degrees on Saturday and Sunday.

2018 went out wet in San Diego County. 2019 comes in windy. Strong winds are expected in the county mountains from early morning New Year’s Day through early afternoon, with some spots seeing gusts of 45 mph. The inland valleys could see 25 mph gusts Tuesday, and 15 mph gusts are possible at the coast. The winds, which are coming out of the northeast, are expected to be much stronger in the San Bernardino and Orange County mountains, where gusts could reach 65 mph. Blustery conditions are forecast for the Rose Parade in Pasadena on Tuesday morning.
