Weather Discussion

There is currently a cutoff low pressure that is bringing scattered showers to Southern California, mainly snow showers to the mountains where parts of the San Bernardino mountains have already seen over 1 foot of snow. Strong Santa Ana winds occurred yesterday across Southern California where widespread wind gusts of 40-60mph affected the region with the highest wind gust clocked in the Inland Empire being 81mph in Ranch Cucamonga (click here to see the highest wind gusts recorded for yesterday's wind event).  It is still breezy today due to offshore flow still occurring across the Inland Empire, but winds are much weaker compared to yesterday. This cutoff low pressure will sit over our region through tomorrow (Saturday) before exiting the region late Saturday night. This storm system will send additional showers into SoCal before all is said and done. Additional rain amounts for the I.E. look to be below 0.50" with some locations picking up no additional rain. Moisture will remain in the area after this storm system exits our area which could fire off additional showers and thunderstorms during the day Monday and Tuesday. Chances for that happening are pretty slim, but there is the possibility for this scenario to play out. Regardless, dryer weather overall should return on Monday and continue through at least Thursday. For tomorrow, expect high temperatures to be in the low to mid 60s along with isolated rain showers across the wonderful Inland Empire.
