Isolated showers are expected in San Diego County this morning before the storm system heads east this afternoon, NWS forecaster Miguel Miller said.
Moisture from Hurricane Rosa — now a tropical depression — brought light rain to the region Monday and Tuesday before a separate low-pressure system brought showers and thunderstorms Wednesday.
San Diego received less than one-tenth of an inch of rain over the last three days, Miller said.
