| episode_narrative | Monsoonal moisture in easterly flow aloft brought showers and thunderstorms to the mountains and deserts each afternoon and evening. The activity on the 9th was mainly in the upper deserts, San Bernardino Mountains and the Inland Empire near Lake Elsinore. Flooding was reported along Highway 74 in Lake Elsinore with 3 to 5 inches of water covering the roadway, along with several downed trees, and a land spout in the nearby city of Perris. Outflow boundaries from storms created strong winds which picked up dust and lowered visibility in the Coachella Valley and near Borrego Springs. Visibility was also lowered to near zero at times with wind gusts around 60 MPH reported in the areas. Storms were more widespread on the 10th as a trough of low pressure drifted north from Mexico. Thunderstorms occurred over most mountain and desert locations, as well as the Inland Empire. Flash flooding was reported in Forest Falls and along Highway 76 in northern San Diego County. Highway 76 was closed for about an hour in the afternoon due to 12 to 18 inches of mud and debris in the road. |
