Rivers and flood channels are again flowing hard across San Diego County after a new Pacific storm moved through the region before dawn Thursday, bringing a fifth straight day of precipitation.
Fallbrook got hit especially hard, receiving 0.67 inches of rain, pushing the city’s five-day total to 5.19 inches, the National Weather Service said. Oceanside recorded 0.42 inches, pushing its total to 4.14 inches.
San Diego International Airport received 0.22 inches of rain, lifting its total this week to 2.61 inches. The city has received about 8.25 inches since the rainy season began on Oct. 1. The airport averages 9.79 inches during the season, which will end on Sept. 30.
Forecasters say it is possible San Diego will come close to the 9.79-inch mark by Saturday because showers are expected to fall on and off for the next couple of days.
