San Diego's Weather Forecast for March 15, 2023: Slick Roads and Flooding

Posted
and last updated


The worst of the rain has come to an end with isolated to scattered mostly light showers continuing into the afternoon before we dry out completely tonight. The morning commute was a mess with dozens of spin-outs, crashes and even flooding and downed trees.

Remember if you see a flooded roadway, turn around don't drown. You don't know how deep the water goes or if the road has been washed out underneath.

As expected we've seen widespread rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches with Palomar Mountain over 4 inches of rain.

This won't be a huge wind maker but westerly gusts of 10 to 35mph will be possible for the coast and valleys with gusts of 20 to 45mph in the mountains and deserts.

This is a relatively warm storm with high snow levels so no snow is expected in the mountains. Temperatures today will trend 3 to 10 degrees below average.

Dry tomorrow with partly cloudy skies by the afternoon before a few weak systems will bring the chance for a few light showers Friday through Sunday. A stronger storm could be on the horizon Tuesday into Wednesday of next week.

Spring is right around the corner with the spring equinox happening at 2:24pm on Monday.

Thursday's Highs: 
Coast: 58-63°
Inland: 58-62°
Mountains: 48-58°
Deserts: 69-75°
