Wet, Stormy Weekend Ahead

San Diego might see up to 5 inches of rain

A storm is brewing for the weekend, warns the San Diego County Depart Department of Public works.

The group sent out a Twitter update saying this weekendโ€™s storm could mean road closures or flooding in some areas.

The National Weather service issued a special statement saying San Diego can expect anywhere between 1 to 5 inches of rain, with strong gusts of winds reaching up to 75 mph in the deserts.

NBCSanDiego meteorologist Jodi Kodesh said St. Patrickโ€™s Day weekend could be wet and rainy, forcing some people to change their plans for the holiday.

โ€œItโ€™s looking like Saturday, Sunday โ€“ possible Monday being cold, rainy and snow in our local mountains down to lower levels,โ€ she said.
