Cold, cold nights are in store for San Diego County as a cold air mass pushes record-low temperatures into San Diego County overnight, even dropping digits enough for some mountain snow.

The region's inland and valleys will be under a frost advisory from midnight through 8 a.m. on both Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures are expected to drop into the 30s -- even lower on Thursday.

The mountains will see even lower temperatures in the mid-20s, which was low enough Wednesday morning for snow to accumulate an inch of snow in Mount Laguna and Julian, four inches of snow on Palomar Mountain and two inches in Pine Valley.

The weather has been so cold that record low temperatures were recorded in parts of the county, the National Weather Service reported Wednesday.

It was 54 degrees in Vista, 50 in Ramona and 34 in Idyllwild on Tuesday -- all record-low temperatures for the day in those areas.

A cold air mass is continuing to bring gusty winds and light showers to the region on Wednesday, although sunny skies would return by the afternoon. Drier and warmer conditions are in the forecast through Friday with a slight chance of showers over the weekend.
