Amid a week of warm, sunny and dry weather with highs in the 80s across the inland valleys, many communities reached or exceeded 90 degrees on Friday. In the WeatherCurrents network, Lake Elsinore reached the highest temperature on Friday with 96 degrees recorded there. This was the highest temperature recorded at WeatherCurrents' Lake Elsinore station since operations began there in 2005 (the previous record was 92 degrees in February 2025). In Murrieta, our WeatherCurrents station recorded a high of 92 degrees on Friday, also setting a record for the location (operations began there in 2003). Most other WeatherCurrents stations also recorded similarly warm temperatures Friday afternoon, mainly in the upper 80s/low 90s. In addition, the National Weather Service reported a number of record high temperatures broken across southwestern ... http://weathercurrents.com/menifee//NewsItemDisplay.do?Id=1666 The final in a series of shortwave troughs delivered rain and mountain snow to the region Thursday, ending a week-long storm event for the region. Precipitation amounts were generally lower than during previous storms this week, however snow levels remained relatively low and the rains boosted local season totals closer to (and in some cases exceeded) entire season averages. For Thursday, storm totals ranged from as low as 0.17 inches in Pinon Hills (possibly higher due to frozen precipitation there) to as high as 0.70 inches in Temecula Valley's Wine Country (courtesy of Jim Sappington). This was followed by a total of 0.58 inches at WeatherCurrents' station in South Fallbrook. Storm totals otherwise ranged from 0.25 to 0.5 inches across the WeatherCurrents network on Thursday. Sunnier weather prevailed for Friday and is expected to continue into the weekend, as more warm and dry weather is forecast for the following week. Here are the rain totals for the WeatherCurrents networ ... http://weathercurrents.com/menifee//NewsItemDisplay.do?Id=1665 A potent shortwave trough swept across Southern California overnight Tuesday into early Wednesday morning, bringing downpours, gusty winds and thunderstorms to much of the region. Showers began shortly before midnight across the inland valleys (and earlier Tuesday evening in Simi Valley), which were preceded by increasingly gusty west/southwest winds; intensifying further after midnight. During this period, SoCal communities were hit by a series of small but potent "squall lines" - carrying brief periods of heavy precipitation, strong winds, and even embedded thunderstorms which produced small hail in some inland communities. In addition, the cold nature of the storm brought snow levels down to 3500-4000 feet above sea level. Across the majority of WeatherCurrents stations, peak wind gusts occurred between 3 and 4 AM Wednesday morning - varying from 22 MPH in South Fallbrook, to as high as 47 MPH in Lake Elsinore. In the valleys, wind gusts between 30-40 MPH were widespread, befo ... http://weathercurrents.com/menifee//NewsItemDisplay.do?Id=1664 The first in a series of winter storms rolled through the state this week, bringing widespread rain, gusty winds, and mountain snow to the region. A shortwave trough arrived in Southern California on Monday, bringing gusty winds, sharply colder temperatures and periods of moderate-to-heavy precipitation well into Monday evening. Post-frontal convective showers followed late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, with some communities (mainly closer to the coasts) reporting brief thunderstorms overnight. Precipitation amounts across the inland valleys fell mostly between one and two inches of rainfall by noon on Tuesday. In Temecula Valley's Wine Country, 2" was reported through Tuesday morning (courtesy of Jim Sappington). In contrast - on the lower end of storm totals was Riverside's Canyon Crest neighborhood, where 0.97 inches was recorded (courtesy of Jim Ness) and San Jacinto in last with 0.77 inches. Snow levels started around 6,000 feet on Monday, dropping to roughly 5,000 ... http://weathercurrents.com/menifee//NewsItemDisplay.do?Id=1663 A low pressure system over the Pacific brought showers to much of the region Wednesday, marking a pattern change from warm and dry to wetter, unsettled weather as we enter the second half of February. Pre-frontal showers and light drizzle began to fall in some communities as early as Tuesday evening, although Simi Valley was the only station in the WeatherCurrents network to record measurable precipitation for Tuesday (where, additionally, more rain fell on Tuesday than Wednesday). Winds also began to pick up Tuesday afternoon, continuing into Wednesday morning as showers grew more widespread with the arrival of the main precipitation band after midnight. Areas to the north and west were generally wetter than their eastern and southern counterparts. In Riverside's Canyon Crest neighborhood, 0.85 inches was recorded (courtesy of Jim Ness) - the wettest total in the WeatherCurrents network for this storm, somewhat atypical for the normally drier community. Simi Valley's location in ...
