SAN DIEGO — If you haven’t pulled out your winter jackets just yet, this weekend may be a good time to do so.
Gusty winds, light rain, and mountain snow are expected in San Diego County on Saturday and Sunday, according to predictions from the National Weather Service.
Saturday morning skies were clear of Southern California and the winds were light. A low pressure system is now expected to dip southward from the north throughout the day, weather officials said.
This movement will increase west winds, which will be most notably for the mountains and deserts by Saturday afternoon, NWS explained. Here’s a look at expected winds gusts through Sunday:
The low pressure system will continue into the region overnight, with the chance of bringing light rain to some areas. NWS emphasized that precipitation levels are anticipated to be very light. Here’s a look at rain shower predictions:
