SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — San Diego is expected to get hit by its first major storm of the year this week following the single slowest start to the region’s typical “rainy season” in recorded history. The storm, which is an atmospheric river moving in from the northwest, will bring several days of moderate to heavy rainfall. The absence of rain up until this point could give way to widespread flooding, due to the since the last major storm last year.

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — There’s no rain expected in the next week and the extended forecast hints at drier than normal conditions and above average temperatures in the next five days. Southern California are seeing a mostly cloudy Friday as a low-pressure system well off the coast funnels some high clouds into the weekend. These clouds will intermittently pass through this weekend with Sunday looking mostly sunny. Will La Niña bring more rain to California?

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The weekend rain won’t do much to suppress the elevated-to-critical fire danger taking over Southern California for the first week of November. A Santa Ana wind pattern is setting up to bring us warm and dry conditions Monday through the rest of the work week. Northeasterly winds will particularly be concerning Monday afternoon for San Bernardino County and the inland empire up into the central coast of Santa Barbara County where Red Flag Warnings are in effect.

It’s hotter than normal by several degrees and in back-to-back heat waves. This heat is much warmer than our 30-year averages, which is abnormal, and meteorologists say a transition to La Niña might be adding to the warm, dry weather even into fall and winter.
