Cool weather and rain on tap for San Diego County this week
San Diego Union-Tribune • • nation
Key Points:
- A north Pacific storm drawing moisture from Tropical Storm Trudy is expected to bring over half an inch of rain to San Diego County from late Tuesday night through Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
- The storm will help alleviate the hot, dry Santa Ana winds that contributed to a large wildfire at Camp Pendleton last week, with Wednesday's high temperature forecasted to be 69-70 degrees, below normal.
- San Diego has already received 1.04 inches of rain since October 1, mainly from Tropical Storm Rachel, which caused coastal erosion and flooding in areas like Tamarack State Beach and Oceanside.
- Tropical Storm Trudy remains strong but is about 1,000 miles south-southeast of San Diego and is not on a direct path toward Southern California.
- The National Hurricane Center reports a tropical depression is forming off southwest Mexico, the same area that produced Rachel and Trudy, signaling potential further weather disturbances.
