Norbert impact in San Diego region

Not one drop of rain on the coast. Pretty clouds and sunset Sunday night.

Thundershowers and flash flooding to the east.

We continue to be parched...

Nothing in San Diego yet.

On the CBS nightly news, Phoenix and Tucson were flooded and people were getting around in kayaks; there were also 2 deaths of people trapped in their cars and many cars on I-10 were underwater. The weatherman attributed this to Norbert.

Just be happy you live in Baja and not in Phoenix.

It rained in Borrego Springs on Sunday, not hard but steady for a bit. The mountains west of us got sluiced pretty well and there was a lot of lightning in the Santa Rosas early Monday with rain later in the day.

Sunny and blue skies in San Marcos... :o

really muggy, cloudy and hazy near La Mision. Looks like it did back East before it rained.

woody with a view - 9-9-2014 at 11:50 AM

DUMPING again.

I15 north of Las Vegas into St George is washed out. Pavement gone. It will be closed for 3 or 4 days. The detour is a 2 lane county road around the Virgin River gorge. It's going to add hours and hours to the trip. Parking lot at my office in Salt Lake City was flowing over the curbs. Not a very wide spread storm cell but if you were under it it was buckets.

Apparently Sky Harbor airport recorded their highest daily rain total since the airport opened!

California sure could have used some rain.

Whale-ista - 9-9-2014 at 08:34 PM

THAT ^^ is an understatement.

I heard it rained 6 inches in Phoenix- and if the drivers there are like drivers here when it rains... may god have mercy on their souls.

(my Flagstaff family members were happy to be 7000 feet above hi tide.)

Flash flood warnings for eastern SD county flashed Sunday PM, but here on the coast we are dry dry dry...gasp. Please send water!

(Not 6 inches, but maybe 1 or 2? My trees are hurting...)

Whoaaa............... good thing I got to Mesquite from San Diego Sunday. Sunday had everything from heavy rain, to dust storms, to huge traffic jams north and south on 15. Made it to Escalante Ut., Monday evening and set up camp just before the storm hit. Today going from Escalante to Green River, it looked clear in Hanksville but there was one spot of black sky. Yup, right on Green River!! So now I sit in a dumpy Motel 6 instead of camping on the Green River!! :(

Looks like the high pressure ridge off SoCal kept the remnants of Norbert from coming north. It was then caught up in the southern Jet Stream and carried east across northern Baja to the desert regions. Also looks like the ridge might be pushing the remnants back south a bit.

Another blue sky day in sunny San Diego!

But, don't waste water... it didn't rain!:light:
