\u00a0It ain\u2019t over until it\u2019s over \u2014 and it\u2019s not over yet.<\/p>\n

Forecasters say rain is still coming to the San Diego area on Sunday, one day after heavy showers dropped up more than two inches in some parts of the region. <\/p>\n

That precedes another storm expected to hit the region on Monday afternoon. <\/p>\n

San Diego Fire-Rescue firefighters and lifeguards responded to several water rescues in the city all day Saturday, according to the department\u2019s online dispatch log<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next phase of the storm is already rolling in. <\/p>\n

\u201cLatest hi-res models aren\u2019t showing much of a break in these isolated showers before the next system moves in, but given how isolated they are, most places should have at least a several hour break in precipitation,\u201d the San Diego NWS said in a discussion<\/a>, adding that up to a half-inch of additional precipitation is expected through Monday morning near the coasts and up to .8 of an inch in the mountains. Deserts will see up to a tenth of an inch.<\/p>\n

Wind gusts of up to 35 miles per hour are expected in some areas, with temperatures 10 to 20F below normal through at least Monday.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s rain dropped at least 1.27 inches of precipitation in San Diego, about a quarter-inch more than the city usually averages during the entire month of November. Rain totals were 2.40 inches at Camp Pendleton and 2.30 inches in Oceanside. <\/p>\n

The rain forced the Del Mar Race Track to close for the day, while San Diego State University placed a tarp over the field at Snapdragon Stadium for its football game against\u00a0\u00a0Boise State.<\/p>\n

The California Highway Patrol<\/a> responded to as many as 20 incidents per hour countywide throughout the day, including spinouts, traffic collisions flooded highways, and mud, dirt and rock slides, among other traffic hazards.<\/p>\n

A rain advisory for all coastal beaches and bays was issued Saturday by the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health and Quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeachgoers are advised that rain brings urban runoff, which can cause bacteria levels to rise significantly in ocean and bay waters, especially near storm drains, creeks, rivers, and lagoon outlets, and may cause illness,\u201d the agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Water contact such as swimming, surfing and diving should be avoided during rain and for at least 72 hours after a rain event, health officials said.<\/p>\n

To help the unsheltered weather the storm, the San Diego Housing Commission activated shelters across the city. A full list of the facilities is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSafe and dry shelter can be the difference between life and death for our most vulnerable neighbors, including families, young children and seniors,\u201d said Jim Vargas, president and chief executive officer of homelessness services agency Father Joe\u2019s Villages. <\/p>\n

People experiencing homelessness can also call 2-1-1 or visit 211sandiego.org<\/a> for resources.<\/p>\n

San Diego city staffers were monitoring more than 46,000 storm drains during the rainy weather, along with recently cleared channels in the Chollas Creek area. Residents can report storm-related issues, such as flooding or downed trees, by using the Get It Done app or by calling (619) 527-7500.<\/p>\n
