A moist southeast flow continues into Southern California with scattered showers and thunderstorms likely through Wednesday, a southwest flow later in the week will result in drier conditions and a more stable environment. Thunderstorms dropped around a quarter to half an inch of rain again across some portions of the San Bernardino Mtns on Monday, while other locations stayed dry. Such is the case with monsoonal thundershowers! Expecting another fairly active day on Tuesday with scattered showers and thunderstorms firing up around noon, continuing into the afternoon & evening. Tuesday will likely be our most active day of the week with storms capable of producing heavy rain, strong & gusty winds, frequent lightning, and hail. Head indoors if a thunderstorm approaches your area. Another benefit of the monsoon flow is cooler temperatures as highs drop into the mid-70s, while overnight lows reach the 40s to lower 50s. Unfortunately, a pesky trough of low pressure will push into the West Coast later this week, ushering in a drier southwest flow and temporarily pushing monsoon moisture east of us, but likely to return at some point next week!
