A band of light to moderate rain swept across coastal and valley areas of San Diego County early Monday at the same time as snow fell in the mountains, prompting meteorologists to issue a travel warning.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for the mountain areas above 4,500 feet until noon Monday, saying two to four inches of snow accumulation was likely.
A winter weather advisory means that periods of snow will make travel difficult. Among the areas included in the advisory were Cuyamaca, Mount Laguna and Ranchita.
