Monsoon moisture still present

The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Warning for the Apple and El Dorado Burn scar areas in the San Gorgonio Pass due to a small but powerful storm North of Banning dropping heavy rain.

The Warning is expected to last until 4:30 as other storms also develop nearby during the persistent humidity.

The best chance of storms will be between now and 5 p.m. this afternoon, again mainly in the high desert and mountains.

A Heat Advisory is posted for the Inland Empire from noon today through 8 p.m. Wednesday as highs climb.

Our seasonal average is 109 and highs will be near that number all week long. Today, expect a high of 107.

We do see some slight drying tomorrow and Wednesday, allowing highs heat up a degree or two. Then in to the weekend, humidity surges back in with a chance of thunderstorms increasing by Friday.
