The rain soaked every inch of San Diego County on Thursday. ☔ It almost made some of us forget California is in the midst of a drought. NBC 7's LittleJoeTV shows us we're going to need a lot more storms to stop worrying about our drought.
By 1 p.m., coastal areas had seen about a quarter-inch of rain, while some inland valley areas saw anywhere from a quarter to three-quarters of an inch. Palomar Mountain received more than an inch of rain while Julian and Mount Laguna saw about a half inch.The storm left roads saturated during the morning commute. At least one person was injured when a vehicle went off westbound SR-78 in Vista and overturned into a ditch around 9 a.m.
Along with the rain comes gusty winds, particularly along the coastline where winds will be in the 30 to 35 mph range. A wind advisory is in effect until noon Thursday for the coast, mountains and valleys of San Diego. That storm surge could also bring flooding to coastal areas, especially Friday morning, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a coastal flood advisory.The state predicts the third in a series of atmospheric river storms could be damaging. Trees are already stressed due to three years with limited precipitation.
While the north was expected to get the brunt of the system, potentially-damaging showers were still expected in San Diego County starting in the overnight hours Thursday.
