Snow, rain and high winds arrived across San Diego County Friday.
An intense wall of rain crossed Interstate 5 and headed over to Interstate 15 and then on to the local mountains where it has dumped a large amount of snow.
The region will experience thinner bands of rain throughout the day.
“We will see other pockets where it will be very heavy at other times so this is not over just yet,” said NBC 7 meteorologist Jodi Kodesh.
