Crews are still searching for a 27-year-old man who went missing at Three Sisters Falls, sheriff’s officials said Sunday.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department‘s Julian substation received a call at around 5 p.m. Friday reporting that two people were swimming in the falls and one had not resurfaced.

Officials searched for the missing man until sunset Friday and resumed the effort Saturday from 8 a.m. to around 5 p.m. The search began again Sunday morning.

Helicopters were preparing to scour the area Sunday, but due to overcast skies authorities planed to wait until the weather clears, an official at the Julian substation said.

The Cleveland National Forest tweeted Friday night that the Three Sisters Falls waterfall and trail were temporarily closed until further notice.

Three Sisters Falls was the site of a fatal accident on June 8, when a 48-year-old woman died after she dropped over the edge of a trail while trying to keep a teenage girl from falling.
