San Diego's sunshine faded away Wednesday as a deep marine layer moved over America's Finest City, giving locals flashbacks to Southern California's rainy winter season.
"Is it going to rain again?" San Diegans questioned. The short answer is, only a little.
This is not a big storm system, it's just a small chance for some light rain," NBC 7 Meteorologist Sheena Parveen said.

The weather pattern began to change Wednesday morning with hazy gray skies and cooler temperatures that were expected to last for at least a few days. Some light passing sprinkles came midday and strengthened overnight into Thursday.
Parveen said quick passing showers would continue into Thursday and drivers should expect a wet morning commute.
More significantly, this minor storm system will increase winds in the mountains and deserts where a wind advisory is in effect from 2 p.m. Wednesday to 11 a.m. Thursday. During that time, winds will average 20 to 30 mph with some gusts reaching up to 60 mph, the National Weather Service said.

By Friday, San Diego will dry up and bring back some sunshine just in time for the weekend.
Enjoy the sunrays while they last. The West Coast will be met with another storm system next week that will at minimum cool temperatures and bring back the clouds. So far, the chance for rain from that system will be slim.
