Hail, lightning spotted in San Diego County

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Ominous clouds produced eerie weather in some parts of San Diego County on Monday.

Around 1 p.m., the National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of southeastern San Diego County until 2 p.m. Those communities included El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, Bonita and Ramona.

FOX 5/KUSI viewers sent in photos and videos of lightning, hail and dark clouds.

One of the videos shows a viewer from Harbinson Canyon capture lightning strike the top of a mountain, while another shows lightning strike close to what appears to be powerlines in San Diego. In Jamul, hail could be seen pelting the ground, resembling somewhat of a winter wonderland at a quick glance. Watch the videos in the player above.

A viewer submitted a photo of a plane tied down on the parking ramp at Palomar Airport with lightning in the backdrop.

Around 4:07 p.m., NWS San Diego released a graphic of the total number of lightning strikes in Southern California, with purple representing cloud to cloud and in cloud, while orange is cloud to ground.

Monday’s storm comes after parts of San Diego County saw heavy rainfall, hail and some snow last week.
