Storm to Bring Rain and Snow to the County
The new year is expected to be christened with showers on its second day, a National Weather Service forecaster said.
A cold front moving south will bring a 60% chance of a quarter to half an inch of rain and gusty winds today. Coastal and inland winds may reach 25 m.p.h. tonight, and up to 30 m.p.h. in the mountain areas. Mountains in San Diego County should receive anywhere from 6 inches to 1 foot of snow today at the 5,000-feet level.
The showers and cloudiness will decrease tonight and early Wednesday morning, when the storm system heads east.
Meanwhile, the temperatures will remain cool, with the coastal and inland areas experiencing highs ranging 57 to 63 degrees, dropping overnight to 46 to 51 on the coast and to 38 to 46 inland.
Daytime temperatures in the mountains will range 36 to 44 and fall to 26 to 34 degrees at night. The deserts will reach 58 to 66 degrees today and have overnight lows of 38 to 46.
The surf is 3 to 6 feet at 13 second intervals, with occasional breakers as high as 8 feet. The water temperature is a brisk 59 degrees.
