Some of the highest-altitude locales in the county, including Palomar Mountain, got light dustings of snow.

The unsettled climate was expected to keep producing isolated showers locally through the afternoon, mostly in and around the mountains, before departing completely.

Another inclement weather pattern likely will bring more chances of rain next weekend, according to the weather service.
