SAN DIEGO — A more unsettled stretch of active weather will bring us passing clouds and a chance for light rain as early as Saturday night and into the first half of next week.
High pressure will be swapped out for an area of low pressure over the weekend. The low is creating a big dip in the jet stream over the West and has a strong atmospheric river moving through Northern California. This plume of moisture will dry out as it makes its way through the Golden State. Once it reaches Southern California, and more specifically, San Diego County, it will be much weaker.
Clouds will build throughout the day on Saturday ahead of the system as winds start to pick up by the afternoon hours. As it closes in, models suggest a chance for light to moderate rain showers from Saturday night through early Sunday morning with a mostly cloudy sky and drier conditions for the rest of Sunday.
Once the weakened atmospheric river moves out, an area of low pressure will slowly sweep by to the north of us. This will keep rain chances in the forecast from Monday through Wednesday night. Though the chances don't look likely, there is still a chance for additional rainfall, on-again, off-again activity, during this time frame. Slick roads will be the main hazard from Saturday night through Wednesday night. Please use caution!
