The system also is starting to generate potentially damaging winds that could reach 35 mph
The first wave of a powerful Pacific storm is dropping heavy rain across much of San Diego County and is likely to last well into Saturday afternoon when the precipitation will become sporadic, according to the National Weather Service. Winds are also blowing hard across much of the region and could reach 35 mph at the coast — strong enough to snap tree branches. Forecasters say it's possible that rain will fall while the San Diego Padres are playing the San Francisco Giants at Petco Park.
The game will begin at 4:15 p.m. There is a slight chance of thunderstorms on Saturday, but they are more likely to occur on Sunday. Forecasters say the second wave of the storm will arrive early Sunday. The system is expected to drop a total of 1.50 to 2.00 inches of rain across the region by the time it exits to the east early Monday. The weather service says, 'The snow level will fall to around 4,500 feet to 5,500 feet on Saturday and fluctuate around 5,000 to 5,500 feet on Sunday.
