Thunderstorms Expected In Mountains Near Banning, Beaumont
Plus, another warm week is on tap in The Pass Area as the monsoonal moisture returns.
RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — Afternoon and evening thunderstorms will be possible in the mountains of Riverside County Monday through midweek. The monsoonal moisture behind the chance of thunderstorms in the mountains and deserts is expected to decrease Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service. Until then, storms may cause heavy rain, lighting and gusty winds.
"Southwestern California will be on the western fringe of monsoonal moisture, which will bring a sight change of thunderstorms today and Tuesday in the mountains and desert," the weather service said in its forecast discussion Monday.
A slight chance of afternoon and nighttime showers and thunderstorms is forecast Monday for Palm Springs and Thermal, according to the weather service. No rain is expected in the upcoming days for the San Gorgonio Pass near Banning, Coachella Valley or the valleys around Riverside — just in the nearby mountains.
