Thank you to everyone who have sent us weather reports over the years. YOU are our eyes and ears in our beautiful world of weather. We appreciate you! 🩵

[NWS San Diego @NWSSanDiego]

Here is one weather model (out of many!!) that shows what we could expect Tue - Wed AM. Yet another system could bring wet weather (purple/blue/green colors), especially across SD County on Wed AM.

These systems are very tricky to forecast, so keep an eye out! #CAwx

Here is a thread about the upcoming storms:
A flood watch is in effect for widespread heavy rain late tonight through Wednesday. Totals have trended down a bit in San Diego, but heavy rain bands may locally increase totals above what is shown. Slight chance of thunderstorms!

[California Natural Resources Agency @CalNatResources]

We’re all hands on deck for this storm.

➡️ @CA_DWR has activated its Flood Ops Center to monitor rivers and coordinate response. 4 MILLION sandbags are prepositioned.

➡️ @CAL_FIRE remains prepared with personnel and equipment strategically positioned across the state.

[NWS San Diego @NWSSanDiego]

A flood watch will go into effect late Tuesday and last through Wednesday across Southern California. Excess runoff from heavy rainfall may result in flooding of rivers and other low-lying areas. Mud and debris flows possible in the mountains near burn scars.
