The rain will continue off and on through Saturday in most parts of the county with a brief respite Wednesday, the San Diego office of the National Weather Service said.

Morning commuters were met with a soggy start to their day Thursday as heavy rain poured down across the region, requiring some drivers to navigate flooded roads and dodge water pockets.

The sun was returning to San Diego County on Friday after a winter storm brought heavy downpours that flooded roadways and prompted rescues.
