Posted
and last updated

A slow-moving storm system just off the coast of California will bring scattered showers overnight into Thursday morning; and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

Gusty westerly winds of 15 to 25mph for the coast and valleys into Thursday, but stronger winds will target the east county. Mountains and deserts will be under a Wind Advisory until 6pm Thursday, westerly winds of 20 to 30mph and gusts to 55mph.

Rain will mostly be light to moderate with brief heavy rain possible, with the best chance for the morning commute Thursday. Rainfall totals will average between .15 to .70".

Snow levels will hover near 5,000' tomorrow morning with a dusting of snow for the higher mountain elevations of Mt. Laguna, Palomar Mountain and Lookout Mountain but it won't stick around for long.

As the storm moves out a few lingering showers could be possible Thursday night into Friday morning. The weather will improve on Friday, but the marine layer will keep the skies Gray, especially for coastal communities.

Daytime highs will improve this weekend away from the coast, with nicer conditions into early next week.

Thursday's Highs: 
Coast: 61-64°
Inland: 55-62°
Mountains: 47-57°
Deserts: 71-76°
