The NWS says Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms over central San Diego, eight miles east of Ramona and four miles southwest of Santa Ysabel. These storms are likely to produce flash flooding in those rural areas.
Flash flooding is also possible along parts of Highway 78, near Old Julian Road and Deer Canyon Drive.
"The increasing subtropical moisture from Hurricane Norbert is bringing moderate to heavy rainfall in our mountains and deserts right now," explained NBC 7 meteorologist Lauren Lee.
"As of 3:30 pm, satellite radar is showing heaviest rainfall near Hwy 78 just East of Ramona and near San Diego Country Estates. There was also heavy rainfall near Pine Valley, moving in and out. It should become more widespread tomorrow," Lee added.
