Showers and storms move across Riverside County mountains and deserts

Thunderstorms brought rumbles of thunder and lightning strikes to the Coachella Valley Thursday afternoon. All activity has since moved to the east and our desert skies will continue to clear through the night.
Remember, if you are close enough to hear thunder, you're within reach of lightning strikes. Stay safe.

Rainfall totals remained light around the Coachella Valley and surrounding location, with totals under 0.10".

Palm Springs set a daily precipitation record with just 0.03". This was the first measurable rainfall for the city since March 11th.

Drier conditions will move in tomorrow with more sunshine in the forecast. Afternoon highs will remain seasonable through the workweek before warming takes place this weekend.

Temperatures will climb into the one-teens by Sunday/Monday. Chance for the return of monsoonal moisture during the middle of next week. The First Alert Weather Team will be tracking the chance for thunderstorms on Wednesday.
