The storm is expected to bring about 2 inches of rain to northern and southern parts of the county between Wednesday and Friday

An incoming atmospheric river shows the potential for several inches of rain, following months of below average rainfall.

Wet weather is on its way to San Diego County Monday, with rain arriving as early as Tuesday, forecasters said

One of the more potent storm systems so far this season is setting up to bring significant widespread rainfall and windy conditions to much of San Diego towards the middle of the week.

According to the National Weather Service, a flood watch is in effect for San Diego County from Thursday afternoon through late Thursday night.

There is up to a 15% chance of light precipitation on Tuesday as the marine layer deepens from coastal to foothill areas throughout the county, with the heavier rain arriving later in the week, forecasters said.

Some areas in Southern California, a region plagued by drought conditions, saw more than inch of rain this weekend.

The incoming weather systems are projected to bring rain across Southern California’s coastal communities, including the burn-scarred hills and mountains around Los Angeles, raising fears of mudflows and flash flooding. But the bulk of the storms will likely stay north of San Diego County.
