More than 140 flights delayed at San Diego Airport as storm brings heavy wind, rain

More that 140 flights into and out of San Diego International Airport were delayed Monday as high winds and heavy rain moved through the county, according to online flight-tracking data.

FlightAware and the airport’s website showed at least 141 flight delays, while the National Weather Service issued a flood advisory for parts of San Diego County and a marine warning for winds of 45 to 50 knots off the coast.

Emergency responders reported an uptick in calls as the storm impacted roadways. The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department and California Highway Patrol responded to several vehicle spinouts and collisions on rain-soaked freeways.

Forecasters said periods of rain, gusty winds and mountain snow are expected through the week.

There is a slight chance of thunderstorms into early Tuesday, followed by lighter showers Tuesday and strengthening west winds over the mountains and desert slopes.

High temperatures Tuesday are expected to reach 62 along the coast, 60 to 63 in the western valleys, 51 to 56 near the foothills, 41 to 50 in the mountains and 65 to 70 in the deserts.

Another round of rain and lower-elevation mountain snow is possible late Tuesday into Wednesday, according to meteorologists.

Cooler, drier conditions are expected Thursday and Friday, with rain chances increasing again early next week.
