San Diego's cold, wet 2024 continues with another storm Thursday
Rain is expected to come alongside a sharp drop in temperatures and heavy winds. San Diego, California, is expected to receive around one-quarter inch of rain near the coast and up to 1 inch in the mountains beginning tonight, according to the National Weather Services. This follows a historically wet start to 2024, with the first three months of the year surpassing the region's average precipitation for the past 25 years due to record-breaking rainfall in March and flooding in January. The area has already received 10.77 inches of rain so far this year, compared to the 5.74 inches it typically receives in a typical year. This latest storm follows a period of heavy rainfall, with another 1.26 inches breaking the all-time record for March 30 set in 1946. Temperatures are expected to drop to around 50 degrees tonight and a Friday high of 57, about 10 degrees below average.
