San Diego County was predicted to get the most rainfall of the season so far from this week’s atmospheric river weather system, and the storm did not disappoint.

A winter storm brought much-needed rainfall – 3 inches in some areas – along with high winds to the San Diego region Thursday.

To prepare for the spate of inclement conditions, the city of San Diego has been monitoring some 46,000 storm drains and will preemptively close flood-prone Mission Valley roads if deemed necessary.
