Heavier storm to follow Friday's mild showers

SAN DIEGO – the second storm of the week has only lightly brushed the county, but a third storm expected late Saturday should be a more direct hit, according to the National Weather Service.
Until then, the skies should be mostly cloudy and an occasional light shower may drift by, but no significant rain is predicted, weather service forecaster Steve Vanderburg said.
Lindbergh Field, San Diego’s official weather station, had recorded 0.06 of an inch by noon Friday. Julian had a tenth of an inch and a few spots along the coast got a couple of hundredths, but much of the county had not recorded measurable rain.
Heavier rain fell to the north and east. the San Bernardino Mountains received more than an inch of rain Friday, and areas along the Central California coast could get a couple of inches.
the storm expected to arrive late Saturday could bring between a half inch and 1.25 inches west of the mountains in San Diego County. the mountains could get more, but it doesn’t appear the rainfall rates will trigger mud and debris flows on Palomar Mountain, which remains vulnerable after the Poomacha fire in 2007.
“It looks like a nice, good rainfall,” Vanderburg said. the rains should taper off by late Sunday morning, he said.
Temperatures should be in the low 60s at both the coast and the inland valleys through the weekend. the snow level is expected to be too high to bring snow to the county’s mountains.
next week is shaping up to be dry and warmer. No rain is expected until at least next weekend, Vanderburg said.
