Our warm weather continues out there, with increasing monsoon moisture for a chance of afternoon showers & thunderstorms through the weekend. Another large complex of storms fired up over Arizona last night, sending a surge of moisture westward into SoCal. This has helped to destabilize the atmosphere enough for isolated thunderstorms to develop. A probable lightning strike in Big Bear has knocked out power, with power coming back online in some areas at this time. Expect partly cloudy skies this evening with an isolated shower or thunderstorm possible as lows cool to the 50s and 60s. A chance for afternoon thundershowers will continue Friday into the weekend as daytime temperatures reach the mid-80s. High pressure will remain in control of our weather through next week for near-normal temperatures and possible afternoon showers and storms at times.
