"San Diego Braces for Winter Storm with Rain, Thunderstorms, and Possible Flooding"

An atmospheric river storm is expected to hit San Diego County, bringing heavy rain, high wind, and the risk of flooding from Friday night through Sunday. The Padres home opener weekend and the East Village Block Party have been affected by the inclement weather, with a Flood Watch in effect for most of Southern California. Residents are advised to prepare for potential flooding and rockslides, with the city providing resources such as sandbags to protect homes and property. San Diego's Storm Patrol teams are working to reduce trash and pollutants, while residents can report storm-related issues through the city's Get It Done app or by calling Public Works Dispatch.
