Wet Weather Due Friday Through Saturday Night

NWS Predictions:

Friday- 50 percent chance of rain after 10 p.m. with a low around 50.

Sat.- Rain is expected with a 90 percent certainty before 4 p.m. and 30 percent chance in the evening. A high of 64 and low around 41 is predicted.

Sun.- Sun is predicted to return with a high near 68 and low of 42 and clouds rolling in at night.

Mon.- A 30 percent chance of rain returns, but it should be partly sunny most of the day.

Wet and windy weather is expected to strike San Diego County, including Santee, late Friday.

According to the National Weather Service, a Pacific weather system will move into the region Friday and Saturday, bringing around a quarter to a third of an inch of rain to the coast and around an inch to west and southwest mountain slopes.

The precipitation will be mostly light but "rather long in duration and will result in some slippery driving conditions," the agency advised.

Wind gusts of up to 70 miles per hour are possible in mountains and desert areas on Saturday, though Santee should experience calm, light winds.

"Another system will bring a chance of precipitation and more gusty winds Monday or Monday night, but less rainfall is expected than the system for tonight and Saturday," according to the Weather Service.
