RAIN TOTALS from Tropical Storm Kay as of 4 p.m. Friday.
A flash flood warning has been issued for Campo, Jacumba, and Boulevard due to heavy rain.
Overnight, the big story was the hot temperatures along our inland and coastal communities. At 3 a.m., most of our coastal neighborhoods were in the upper 80s, downtown San Diego was sitting at 89. This was the result of rapid, down-sloping winds and the abundant cloud coverage locking in those warmer than average temperatures. We will likely set record warm minimum temperatures, and are waiting for NWS to publish those reports.
A High Wind Warning is in effect for the entire county through midnight, while a Wind Advisory remains in effect Saturday for the deserts, but winds are only expected to gust to 25 to 45mph. High profile vehicles should delay travel along the foothill and mountain areas until Saturday. In addition, we're still under an Excessive Heat Warning through 8 p.m. for our coast and valleys. Coastal communities, surprisingly, will be warmer than our deserts this afternoon in the upper 80s low 90s. Inland valleys will top out in the 90s while mountains and deserts see close to a 15-20 degree drop in daytime highs.
Earlier in the morning, COE officials announced Mountain Empire Unified School District schools were closed for the day due to the windy conditions.Strong winds are whipping around the San Diego region, particularly in the East County. Even though the center of #TCKay is expected to slide to the southwest of San Diego, strong offshore east winds downsloping the mountains are expected with the threat of damaging wind gusts as shown here even on the coast - high wind warning #socal #CAWX pic.twitter.com/gjL0O5IurQSome areas could see the threat of excessive rainfall Friday, the National Weather Service says. A map was also released of the rainfall potential.
From the beach communities to the deserts, rain will be widespread from Friday night into Saturday morning, with some of that activity lingering through Sunday.
