The National Weather Service office in San Diego is warning of a powerful weekend storm that could dump up to an inch of rain in coastal and inland areas of San Diego County.
“A powerful winter storm will bring strong and potentially damaging winds Saturday night though Monday,” the weather service said in a briefing for news media on Friday.
The storm’s greatest impact is expected to be Saturday and Sunday night when the passage of a strong cold front will bring the strongest winds, heaviest rain and mountain snow.
Rainfall totals are forecast at 0.5 to 1 inches in the coasts and valleys, 1.5 to 2.5 inches in the mountains and .25 to .5 inches in the deserts. Snowfall could reach 10 to 20 inches above 7,000 feet.
