The first of a series of storms swept through the county last night bringing impressive rainfall totals and now we're left with lingering showers.
Some of the big winners included Palomar Mountain where about 1" of rain was collected. As of 4:25 p.m., The San Diego Airport received .63", Ramona .78", Santee .71" and Julian .89".
This storm has also pumped wave heights. A high surf advisory remains in place through 4P Thursday. Localized sets could measure up to 8' and rip currents will be strong.
We'll remain fairly dry through Friday. Saturday brings another round of impressive rain with higher rainfall totals, likely. Most of the moderate rain activity will impact New Year's Eve right as the clock strikes midnight, lasting through New Year's Day morning.
Strong winds could impact mountain and desert communities New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, with peak wind gusts as fast as 50 miles per hour.
Thursday's Highs:
Coast: 60-64
Inland: 56-62
Mountains: 43-55
Deserts: 63-70
