SAN DIEGO An unsettled atmospheric pattern was expected to move out of the San Diego area Monday evening, ushering in several days of mostly dry conditions beginning Tuesday one day after a cold winter storm brought downpours, mountain snow and high winds.
But another significant storm is expected to move over the San Diego area Thursday night or Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
With potentially heavy rains expected around the county this weekend and early next week, the County of San Diego and CAL FIRE are offering free sandbags to residents who live in the unincorporated areas.
Weather forecasters say we’re in for a dramatic shift in weather starting this weekend, with cold temperatures and potentially heavy rains expected in two separate storms.
As they have in the past, the County and CAL FIRE are providing free bags and/or sand at numerous fire stations for people who live in the unincorporated areas.
Rain can cause flooding and erosion, particularly in areas that aren’t covered by plants, landscaping, grass and trees. Rain runoff can sweep topsoil, mud, plant material and debris off land and downstream where it can damage homes, clog culverts and storm drains, and flood and damage roadways.

Pete Scully, a battalion chief for the California Department of Forestry s fire protection agency, stands next to his camper-shelled pickup truck at a Highway 94 turnoff east of where Campo Creek turns south into Mexico, about halfway between Campo and Potrero. The hill looming on the south side of the road is completely blackened, the aftermath of a wildfire that roared through this area the day before, Monday, September 13. We could see the smoke, and we could see it was in Mexico. So I held off on the [large-scale] dispatch.
