Wednesday evening, the County of San Diego hungry for rain will be struck by a storm of the cold and windy end of winter which could drop half a pump of rain on the coast and more than twice that of the mountains when he clears up in the east on Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecastists also say that the system will bring 3 to 5 inches of snow above the level of 4,500 feet in local mountains – and much more in regional ski resorts at higher altitudes.
San Diego International Airport has only recorded 1.34 inch of precipitation since the start of the rainy season on October 1. It is almost 6 inches below average. Ramona obtained 3.31 inches, which is 7.63 inches below the average.
The County of San Diego experiences an extreme drought, according to the American drought instructor. The incoming storm, which will start with a low atmospheric river on Wednesday evening and will be followed by an even lower Thursday evening, may not do much to change this note.
