A storm that was headed toward the San Diego area is weakening as it moves south from the Central California coast and now is forecast to bring little, if any, rain, the National Weather Service said Monday.
The forecast now calls for partly to mostly cloudy skies Monday, with a 20-percent chance of about a 10th of an inch of rain or less, according to meteorologist Curt Kaplan, who says winter weather advisories have been canceled.
Temperatures Monday will be in the low 60s, with more sunny conditions starting Tuesday, the NWS said.
