It happens. Everybody thinks it's unusual, but it's not.
August is one of our hottest months. This is not really a heat wave. It's just typical for summer.
The heavy-type rainfall won't get here until early in the morning.
This is only the second or third time that we've had less than one inch of rain at Lindbergh Field during December, January and February.
This is a colder storm than we've seen so far this season.
Some of the showers could be a little heavy, but only for short periods of time.
We had a similar system like this - almost exactly to the day - last year. There's nothing unusual or out of the ordinary about it. This weather relates directly to a low-pressure system sitting southwest of us off the coast. It's pumping moisture into the air.
Don't tell anybody, but by Monday you could play in the snow in the mountains. We could see a foot, maybe more, places like Palomar Mountain. The higher elevations could get about three feet of snow by Sunday evening.
If you get an inch over a period of one or two days in the desert, that's not so bad. But if you get an inch within a couple hours in the desert, that's when you have problems.
A lot of the places that would normally get flash flooding are at the higher elevations, and since it's so cold, it's snowing.
