It'll be mostly sunny this week, but a potent storm could reach San Diego on Sunday

It will be mostly sunny across San Diego County this week — until Sunday, when a potentially significant new Pacific storm will move in, dropping between 0.75 and 1.25 inches of rain from the coast to inland foothills and valleys, the National Weather Service said. The system is expected to swirl to life in the North Pacific and could draw moisture from the subtropics, the same connection that supercharged the series of storms that have pounded the county since Jan. 22.

The storm might not be cold enough to produce snow in the San Diego County mountains. But the system could be very unstable, possibly resulting in brief thunderstorms like the one that also pelted South County with hail last week. Since the rainy season began on Oct. 1, San Diego International Airport has recorded 8.81 inches of precipitation, which is 3.11 inches above average. There's a small possibility that the next system could push the total to 9.
