Brace for the cold ... at least what's considered cold for San Diego. A cold front moved in Wednesday, bringing cloudy skies, a drop in temperatures and scattered showers across the county
Coastal neighborhoods didn't see much measurable rain, according to the National Weather Service. A hundredth of an inch was measured at the Carlsbad Airport, which was the only coast site listed on the agency's Wednesday afternoon rain report.
The most rain fell in mountain areas. Palomar Mountain saw .17 inches, Julian saw .07 inches and Mt. Laguna saw .01 inches as of 4:45 p.m. Wednesday. The NWS says that pattern will continue as the low-pressure system moves through the county.

San Diegans will feel the cold this week. Temperatures are expected to be 5-10 degrees below average for this time of year. Wednesday highs dropped into the low to mid-60s for the coast and inland valleys. In the mountains, temperatures fell to the 50s and to the high 60s in the deserts.
Earlier weather models from the NWS predicted a slight chance for snow at elevations above 6,000 feet this week but the chance for any snowfall to stick does not appear likely.
The sun will return this weekend. By next week, San Diego will again be in a warm and dry Santa Ana weather pattern, so enjoy what little rain we get while it lasts, forecasters say.
