Storm Totals: February 19th, 2026

By Reginald Stanley. Posted February 20, 2026, 6:07 PM.



The final in a series of shortwave troughs delivered rain and mountain snow to the region Thursday, ending a week-long storm event for the region.

Precipitation amounts were generally lower than during previous storms this week, however snow levels remained relatively low and the rains boosted local season totals closer to (and in some cases exceeded) entire season averages. For Thursday, storm totals ranged from as low as 0.17 inches in Pinon Hills (possibly higher due to frozen precipitation there) to as high as 0.70 inches in Temecula Valley's Wine Country (courtesy of Jim Sappington). This was followed by a total of 0.58 inches at WeatherCurrents' station in South Fallbrook. Storm totals otherwise ranged from 0.25 to 0.5 inches across the WeatherCurrents network on Thursday. Sunnier weather prevailed for Friday and is expected to continue into the weekend, as more warm and dry weather is forecast for the following week.
