A late-season storm is headed toward San Diego County with light rain in most areas and snowfall in the mountains.
“The first impacts to our region will occur early Friday morning as west winds increase over the mountains and deserts,” the National Weather Service said.
By Friday evening, rain is likely, the agency said, adding that showers should taper off Saturday morning.
Total rainfall from the storm should be mostly light. The forecast call for less than 0.15 inches of rainfall in most coastal and valley areas and up to 0.75 inches along coastal mountain slopes.
The snowfall level is expected to fall to around 4,500 feet by Friday night, with 1 to 3 inches of snow possible on the highest mountain peaks.
“The trough of low pressure (will exit) our region by Sunday, with drier and much warmer conditions arriving for the upcoming next week,” the weather service said.
