A dry and warm weekend is on the horizon as the storm makes its way out of San Diego on Thursday morning.

"Most of the county will be drying up by 7 a.m.," NBC 7's Meteorologist Sheena Parveen said. "The foothills and mountains will see some lingering showers during the afternoon."

Rainfall from the coast to the mountains has mostly been from one-third to two-thirds of an inch with local amounts to around one inch, the National Weather Servuce said. 

Friday and Saturday will be dry and warmer with Saturday high temperatures warming to around average with not much change for Sunday, the NWS said.

A winter weather advisory for the mountains expires at noon on Thursday.

The snow level dropped below 6,000 feet Wednesday night and could bring a couple of inches to San Diego County's higher mountain locations like Mount Laguna and Palomar Mountain.

Just six days into March, San Diego County is already seeing its second storm system of the month. That’s coming out of February, which brought above average rainfall to portions of the county. NBC 7 meteorologist Brooke Martell has more from Cardiff.
