San Diego is expected to get hit by its first major storm of the year this week following the single slowest start to the region's typical "rainy season" in recorded history.

San Diego County could see potentially heavy rains and some snow this week. Here’s where residents and businesses can pick up free sandbags across the county.

There is up to a 15% chance of light precipitation on Tuesday as the marine layer deepens from coastal to foothill areas throughout the county, with the heavier rain arriving later in the week, forecasters said.
