What Wild Weather San Diego Is Having

When I read that there was an urgent severe weather message issued for tonight in San Diego for snow, rain and wind, I could barely believe it. They were calling for snow in the mountains in San Diego??? That's insane! They are even calling for everyone to use chains in the mountains starting at 5:00 tonight. This is some strange weather San Diego is having, especially for this time of year. It's almost April, for goodness sake.

The heavy rains earlier today contributed to a bunch of car wrecks. Some of them were pretty major. There was a wreck on the 405 that involved seven cars. Another crash just down the road a half hour later ended up with two cars bursting into flames. There was mud and standing water on the 110 and the 10. There were also reports of some flooding in different areas. What a mess this storm is creating.

The storms even affected another NASCAR race. A few weeks ago, the Daytona 500 had been plagued by rain delays and other problems. Now once again a NASCAR race, the Auto Club 500 Fontana, was affected by the heavy rains. This time they finally had to just call off the race. The leader at that moment was Tony Stewart, so they just declared him the winner.

Thank goodness they are calling for warmer temperatures and no more rain for the rest of the week. There will likely be a lot of fog and haze in the morning, but after that clears San Diego should be back to its normal weather for this time of year.
