San Diego County is in for another rainy, blustery day Monday as a strong cold front moves through the region.

Among the rainfall amounts reported by the National Weather Service as of 2 a.m. were .65 of an inch of rain in Fallbrook; .49 in Mission Beach; .45 in Encinitas; .44 in Mira Mesa; .41 in La Jolla; .40 in Alpine; .37 in Carlsbad; .35 in Poway; .32 in Vista; .25 in Chula Vista; .23 in Coronado; and .22 in Solana Beach.

Forecasters said scattered showers would linger throughout the day, especially over the mountains, while high temperatures will only reach the low 60s.

Gusty winds will also continue whipping through parts of San Diego County. A wind advisory for the mountains and the deserts will remain in effect until 8 p.m.

Southwest winds of 20 to 30 miles per hour with gusts of 50 to 60 mph are expected, and the strong winds may kick up sand and dust in the deserts, skewing visibility, according to the weather service. Delays and road closures may also be possible.

Along the San Diego County coastline, a high surf advisory is in effect until 6 p.m. Forecasters said waves and surf of 5 to 8 feet would be possible, as would strong rip currents.
