"San Diego Braces for Winter Storm: Precautions Urged Amid Heavy Rains and Flooding"

San Diego County is under a flood watch as heavy rain from the 'Pineapple Express' storm system reaches the area, prompting flood alerts and a voluntary evacuation warning for low-lying neighborhoods. Rain totals of 1 to 2.5 inches are expected, with localized flooding and potential thunderstorms. The National Weather Service issued flood warnings and advisories for various areas, with high-surf advisories for coastal communities and a chance of snow in the mountains. Another storm system is expected to bring several days of rain next week, following a recent state of emergency declaration due to heavy precipitation and flooding.
