As the winter storm intensifies over the weekend, San Diego County’s mountains are bracing for more snow and hazardous conditions while downpours are in store for the rest of the region.

This weather system could potentially cause flooding in parts of the county, which is why NWS issued a flood watch for coastal areas, inland valleys and mountain communities.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
"It all starts to kind of wind down, but still expect scattered showers with mountain snow as we head into Saturday night," Parveen said."And it’s going to taper off a lot more on Sunday."
