Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong, low latitude jet stream brought a series of storms through Southern California with periods of moderate to heavy rain/snow, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and high surf. Three-day rainfall totals were around 2 to 7 inches for the coast/valley/foothill areas, and 1 to 3 inches for the deserts. The mountains received a wide range of snow amounts, ranging from 6 to 30 inches, most of which fell above 5000 feet. The highest amounts were in the San Bernardino and Riverside County Mountains, with 20 to 30 inches in several locations. Several trees, power lines and poles were downed from wind. A plane approaching San Diego International Airport was struck by lightning on the morning of the 7th, but no injuries or damage reported. Countless flooding reports also came out of the heavy rain accompanying this system, with southwestern San Diego County being hardest hit. Several reports of pea size hail came out of Carlsbad, Poway (accumulation of about 1 inch near I-15 and Carmel Mountain Road), and some in Orange County as well.
