San Diego County was met with scattered showers that are expected to linger Thursday and Friday before the skies part to a warm, sunny San Diego weekend.
NBC 7 Meteorologist Sheena Parveen said a cold front is expected to bring light rain to some parts of San Diego County throughout the day Thursday. The chance for showers was much slimmer Friday but temperatures were expected to remain cold and skies cloudy.
"Not a lot of moisture though, you can see that here, very unsettled weather pattern but don't have a lot of rain," Parveen said. "Most of your day will be cloudy with the chance for some showers."

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.
