December 10, 2015 (San Diego’s East County) – A low pressure trough moving south into our region is forecast to bring strong westerly winds, showers and mountain snow tonight through Friday, meteorologist Mark Moede with the National Weather Srevice in San Diego advises.

Wind gusts could reach 60 to 70 miles per hour, posing hazards to high profile vehicles in mountains and deserts, including on I-15, I-8, and I-10.  There is also a chance of thunderstorms, hail and brief, heavy downpours possible.

San Diego County mountains could receive up to two inches of snow above 5000 feet in elevation, with traces down to 4500 feet. Coastal waters will also have hazardous boating conditions with steep seas greater than 10 feet.

Watch for more showers  and strong wind starting late Sunday through Monday night, when mountain snow could dip to 4,000 feet or lower.
