A long-duration atmospheric river is set to bring moderate to heavy rain in northern and central parts of California, but south of Los Angeles will likely get a few light, scattered showers this week.

San Diego County was experiencing mild and dry weather Sunday, but rain is likely on the way later in the week, forecasters said.

Scattered rain showers fell across San Diego County over the weekend, bringing some slight respite during what the National Weather Service has referred to as the driest start to San Diego's water year.

Warm and dry weather will close out the weekend, with rain and snow expected in parts of the region by midweek, according to the National Weather Service.

Scattered showers are expected early this week for San Diego County, with a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon into Monday morning for the coast, valleys and mountains.
