| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Upper level high pressure centered over the Four Corners ushered in moisture from the southeast into SoCal starting on Labor Day. Monsoon thunderstorms impacted the mountains and deserts September 2 through 5th. The event started with a nocturnal MCS over the Coachella Valley early in the morning on September 2nd, dumping 1-1.5 inches over a couple of hours. Even more thunderstorms formed Monday afternoon, especially in the mountains. Hail was reported on I-8 Monday afternoon. Storms continued each afternoon and evening in the mountains through September 5th. Some thunderstorms even reached the San Diego County coast on September 4th. Widespread outflow wind gusts of 30-45 mph were reported on the coast and in the valleys on September 4th.|At the end of September, 24-26, tropical moisture was wrapped into southern California from a closed upper low. This initially brought Santa Ana winds and very warm temperatures to the coast and on 25-26 brought scattered thunderstorms to the San Diego mountains. The flooding rains were confined to the Mojave Desert and Imperial Valley. |
