Cooler, cloudier conditions and periods of light rain are forecast in San Diego County through Friday night as a weakening atmospheric river moves southward into Southern California, according to the National Weather Service.

A long-duration atmospheric river is set to bring moderate to heavy rain in northern and central parts of California, but south of Los Angeles will likely get a few light, scattered showers this week.

Instead of major fires the Golden State will be delt with major rainfall with precipitation amounts that could reach over half a foot over the next week.
