Another string of light showers and mountain snow are expected to reach San Diego Sunday as multiple advisories have been issued by the National Weather Service.
“Rain will be light and scattered in nature,” NBC 7 Meteorologist Llarisa Abreu said.
Abreu said a half-inch to a three-quarters-inch of rain is expected from the coast to the inland valleys. “Some spots may pick up an inch,” she said.
A winter weather warning is in effect until 6 a.m. Monday, according to Abreu. A possible 3 to 6 inches of snow may fall at elevations above 4,500 feet.
A wind advisory was issued, beginning at 2 p.m. and lasting until 10 p.m. Sunday, according to NWS.
“Very dangerous winds – those winds could gust between 55 and 65 miles per hour,” NBC 7 Meteorologist Brooke Landau said.
