As rain slows to a halt across Southern California in the early morning hours Monday, meteorologists expect a few days of without precipitation before another storm system moves in later in the week.
The Inland Empire and Orange County
Northern areas of the Inland Empire saw the most rainfall from a storm system that moved in Sunday and was expected to last through the early morning hours Monday, according to the National Weather Service office in San Diego.
The NWS said .04 inches of rain was reported at Skinner Lake near French Valley through around 5 p.m. Some heavier rain also affected the Line fire burn scar in San Bernardino County, prompting officials to issue a flood advisory in the area that was set to expire at 9:38 p.m. At Cal State San Bernardino, .51 inches was recorded in the six hours ending at 9 p.m.
Other parts of the Inland Empire received less than a tenth of an inch of rain.
Through the rest of the night, little rainfall accumulation is expected to range from a tenth of an inch or less to half an inch in some areas.
Heavier showers that hit northern parts of the Inland Empire Sunday night are expected to pass to the north of Riverside and head toward the Banning Pass. Areas around there could expect a bit more than half an inch between Sunday night and Monday morning.
Across the Inland Empire and Orange County, the rain will end by mid-day Monday. No showers are expected Tuesday, but meteorologists predict another storm system will move in Wednesday and last through Friday.
Areas around the San Bernardino Mountains could see an inch of rain, while northern portions of the Inland Empire could get about half an inch of rain. In Orange County, communities could expect about half an inch of rain between Wednesday and Friday.
Los Angeles County
Some communities saw about half an inch of rain across the county throughout Sunday, with others seeing no precipitation, according to the National Weather Service office in Los Angeles. The Eagle Rock Reservoir area near the 134 Freeway stood out as receiving a good amount of rain Sunday, .11 inches in the six hours ending at 9 p.m.
Until around midnight, little rain was expected, with scattered showers predicted throughout the county.
Another storm system will move into the area Wednesday, with rain expected to start in the late afternoon and expected to continue into the overnight hours Thursday. Meteorologists predict communities throughout the county will see less than an inch of rain, with a bit more than an inch possible in areas around the San Gabriel Mountains.
