It's been a hot, muggy, wild weather week in San Diego, but relief is in sight: The forecast shows temperatures cooling to normal on Thursday.
But before that happens, there's still a chance of thunderstorms.
A day after a wild weather day on Tuesday, folks in East County were on rain watch.
Doppler radar was showing rain in northeast San Diego County on Wednesday afternoon. In Ramona, storm clouds were accumulating, though no rain had fallen there yet.
Temperatures in that area were in the 90s and a flash flood watch was issued for Lake Henshaw, Palomar Mountain and Warner Springs. The advisory is in effect until 8 p.m. Wednesday.
While no rain had yet fallen in Ramona, heat was still monopolizing much of the conversation.
When “it’s the first thing you talk about is the heat or the weather, you know it is small talk,” said Wally Matranga, owner of Alpine Garden and Gifts.

So when are things finally going to cool down in the San Diego region?
NBC 7’s Dagmar Midcap said there’s still a lot of monsoonal moisture in the region, bringing humidity and a chance of thunderstorms in East County in the evening.
The good news that will come with a sigh of relief: Temperatures are gradually cooling and will continue to cool through Wednesday evening. Expect a daytime high on Thursday much more typical for this time of year: 77 degrees.
