Thunderstorms could move through area today; temperature to rise as week progresses

SAN DIEGO - Sub-tropical moisture moved over San Diego County yesterday, bringing a small amount of rain to the mountains and some inland valleys, and the pattern could continue today, a National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist said.

Thunderstorms could bring more rain today, some locally heavy, followed by drier weather, said Don Whitlow of the NWS.

"It'll warm up a little more toward the end of the week," Whitlow said.

He said the warming could send high temperatures into the low 90s in inland valley communities like El Cajon and Escondido, a rarity in what has so far been a cool summer....
