SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Another storm is battering San Diego County Monday with heavy rainfall, and a Winter Storm Warning was issued for the region’s mountain areas with heavy snow in the forecast.

With the rainfall and cold temperatures, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for the mountain areas of the county, including Julian and Pine Valley. The warning takes effect 4 p.m. Monday and will last through 4 a.m. Wednesday.
