“Find the umbrella; keep it handy! You’re going to need it through the New Year,” NBC 7 Meteorologist Sheena Parveen warned earlier on Tuesday, and she was right.
Mostly light and moderate rainfall will grace San Diego County Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
San Diego County is slated to close out 2022 with inclement weather thanks to a series of storms that will bring rain to our region. Here’s a closer look at the week's weather:

Wednesday
By about 7 a.m., the rain may already be leaving San Diego County, bringing an end in our region to the first storm this week. San Diegans are not in the clear yet though — temperatures will lower and run below normal through the week.
“It looks like that rain should be moving out for your Wednesday so I think during the day tomorrow, we should be pretty dry,” Parveen said.
The Holiday Bowl doesn’t seem to be in jeopardy at this moment, though there will be cloud coverage as the festivities take place in a break in between two storm systems.
Thursday and Friday
“The second moves in Thursday, Friday … and another one over the weekend,” Parveen said. “Over the course of next week, we potentially could have a few more storm systems."
Wednesday afternoon through Friday will be dry for most areas, according to the NWS.
Saturday (New Year's Eve) and Sunday
Another round of rain will likely come Saturday afternoon as many don their New Year's Eve best and get ready for their plans, according to the NWS.
The NWS expects most of the rainfall to happen Saturday night through Sunday morning. This storm may be more powerful than the previous one, possibly bringing more snow in the mountains and heavier rainfall late on NYE into New Year's Day.
Jan. 3 and 4
Yet ANOTHER rainy storm could grace San Diego County on Jan. 3 or 4, according to the NWS. Check back for more details closer to that date.
