San Diegans were warned by the National Weather Service earlier this week to prepare for flooding from an atmospheric river generated by a bomb cyclone. In the ensuing days, some areas of the county got plenty of rainfall but others did not.

Peak rain was up on the peak of Palomar Mountain at the observatory, where 2.73 dropped. The low? How about 0.01 inches out in the desert at Ocotillo Wells or just 0.08 inches at Brown Field just north of Otay Mesa down by the border. Even Poway recorded just a paltry 0.15 inches….
