Showers are lingering well into spring this year with another bout reaching San Diego early Thursday morning.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed overnight Wednesday with some bursts of showers reaching the ground during the morning commute. Thursday's showers are forecasted to clear by the afternoon, with a small chance of scattered drizzle on Friday.

North County got a nice dose of rain on Thursday morning, reports NBC 7's Jeanette Quezada.

Along with the storm comes gusty winds. A wind advisory is in effect from 6 p.m. Wednesday to 6 p.m. Thursday for San Diego County's mountains and deserts.

The rain won't amount to much; coastal areas and inland valleys are expected to receive the heaviest rainfall and still are likely to only see up to three-quarters of an inch of rain. The mountains will see about an inch to 1.5 inches of a snowy mix at elevations of about 5,000 feet, the NWS said.

Once the storm passes, temperatures will remain cool through the work week. Inland areas will see temperatures 10 to 25 degrees below normal and the coast will dip about 5 to 10 degrees below normal. By Friday, the county will begin to heat up a few degrees each day.
