Forecasters say the system could drop 1 to 3 inches of rain from the coast to inland valleys and 8 to 12 inches of snow in the mountains by the time it clears to the east on Wednesday.
A Pacific storm that has the potential to cause power outages, mudslides, street flooding and wind damage pushed into San Diego County before dawn Tuesday.
The National Weather Service said the core of the system — or front — will arrive around 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. and steadily spread to the south and east, drenching already saturated soil. That’s when the heaviest rainfall will occur. The rain will last until early afternoon then weaken, only to grow strong again around 10 p.m. The precipitation will last into Wednesday.
