Forecasters say that is good news for San Diego, but the region still has a long way to go to make up for below-average precipitation over the past two years.
The cold, windy Pacific storm that drenched much of San Diego County late Tuesday night and early Wednesday pushed seasonal rainfall at San Diego International Airport above average for the first time in three years, according to the National Weather Service.
“You have to look at the cumulative effect,” said James Brotherton, a weather service forecaster. “We had below-average rain the past two years so we have to make up for that. But this year’s rain is good news.”This phenomenon happens a lot, and the National Weather Service says there’s a fairly simple explanation. You can blame Point Loma.
Palomar Mountain received 8 inches of snow through 10 a.m. Wednesday, and hail was reported in downtown San Diego.
