Storm System Has Moved In for the Week
After a bout of sunshine, Santee will be gloomy and wet the rest of the week.
Light rain fell just enough to cause some trouble in the morning commute around San Diego Wednesday morning, and National Weather Service (NWS) has given detailed predictions for the rest of the week.
The expected large cold trough of low pressure moving into the region from the Gulf of Alaska has arrived, and brings with it the likelihood of steadier rain by Wednesday afternoon and evening, according to the NWS.
Rainfall amounts will range from around a quarter to three-quarters of an inch along the coast and inland, and up to 1-2 inches on some mountain slopes, the agency advised, noting that snow levels of 6,000-7,000 feet will lower to near 4,000 feet by tonight.
