Rain has arrived in the Coachella Valley

As of 11:00 p.m., rainfall accumulation was minimal with hundredths of an inch recorded but more is on the way!

As an area of low pressure moves inland on Tuesday, widespread rain will fall across the region. Rainfall estimates continue to vary but parts of the desert could receive up to an inch of rain.

Rain is something the Coachella Valley has not seen a lot of this year, with only 0.06" recorded since January 1st. A completely different story compared to last year when, by this date, 5.92" was recorded. An amount that even exceeded the average yearly total.

Tuesday continues to look as the most impacted day for accumulation but wrap-around moisture will keep rain chances for the desert through the end of the work week.

REMINDER: Turn around; don't drown. Never attempt to cross a flooded roadway.
