San Diego Recovering From Brutal October Heatwave

Southern California is finally recovering from a brutal and historic October heatwave!

Daily heat records shattered across San Diego County this week

The first week of October will be one for the record books across San Diego County, as daily temperature records were broken for six of the first seven days of the month. A ridge of high pressure coupled with offshore Santa Ana winds delivered a burst of hot, dry air to the region that brought coastal temperatures to the triple digits for the first weekend of the month.

Confidence Continues to Grow For Where The Focus of the Precipitation Will Be

Confidence is growing that the trough will pull in remnant moisture from Rachel before ejecting east. Compared to last time, this setup could bring more than just humidity to portions of Southern California. While rainfall totals remain difficult to pinpoint, confidence is increasing that portions of Southern California (especially east) could receive heavy rainfall, particularly farther southeast. For now, the Los Angeles area looks less favored, while places such as San Diego County could get a few showers, Imperial Valley could receive beneficial rainfall if the projected path and setup hold. The Colorado River area looks to be hit the hardest given the track of the moisture aloft.
