Overview
- The National Weather Service’s five-day report Friday shows county rainfall ranging from about 0.14 inch at Ocotillo Wells South to 7.53 inches at Lake Cuyamaca.
- Mountain communities led accumulations, with Palomar and Julian topping 5 to 6 inches, while many coastal and valley stations logged roughly 1.5 to 3.8 inches.
- Forecasters say a building high-pressure ridge will bring mostly clear weather, with San Diego highs around 67–74 next week and Escondido reaching 80 by Friday.
- The dry spell should let runoff soak in, boosting soil moisture, easing near-term wildfire danger, and potentially fostering wildflower displays in Anza Borrego.
- San Diego’s season-to-date rain stands at 9.62 inches versus a 9.79-inch average, and forecasters expect the season to finish above average.
