The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel have exited the region, with most locations receiving around 1-2 inches of rain, though a few locations picked up 2-4 inches. Residual moisture will bring a few clouds this evening, with west winds of 10-20 mph and lows in the 30s. A colder low will move into the area from the northwest on Monday for mostly cloudy skies with gusty west winds to 15-30 mph. Highs will only reach the mid-40s, with scattered showers likely, snow level above 8,000 feet. Lingering moisture could bring a few snow showers Monday night, tapering off early Tuesday as this trough of low pressure moves east. We could even see the snow level dip to around 7,000 feet, with a few flurries possible around Big Bear. Additional rainfall amounts of around a quarter inch are possible through Monday, with a couple inches of snow for the higher elevations, mainly above 8,000 feet. As this trough exits the region, weak ridging will return through the end of the week for drier conditions, gradually warmer temperatures, and gusty offshore winds at times.
