Temperature are also going to get colder Monday, dropping as much as 10 degrees, down to the 50s in coastal and valley areas.

The NWS has also issued a flash flood watch for San Diego County coastal areas and valleys from through Wednesday evening. Forecasters say there's a chance of hail in coastal and desert areas

The first wave of the pre-winter storm arrived over the weekend, but its real punch first hit Monday, bringing rain, high winds and snow, forcing road closures and knocking out power.  Rainfall records in several areas were broken, including Borrego Springs, Campo, Chula Vista and El Cajon.

The road conditions have been treacherous since the storm's arrival. On Monday, Brandon Anthony Kennedy, 25, was killed and another injured when an armored truck slid off a wet highway and rolled down an embankment.
