As of this morning, just about every city in the valley recorded over three inches of rain. That is more than two-thirds of the annual rainfall for Palm Springs!

The wind was a major component of the tropical storm. Many cities recorded gusts in excess of 50 mph, and Whitewater recorded a gust of 70 mph! This is why we are seeing so many downed trees, broken branches, and even some loose roof tiles.

There is going to be a lot of cleaning up to do in the coming days. Thankfully, temperatures will remain below average for much of this week. On Thursday, monsoonal moisture will return to the desert, providing a slight chance for rain.
