Rain, Cold Weather Cancels Downtown Murrieta Project

Hail fell in parts of Murrieta on Friday.

A cold front that brought rain and hail to Murrieta Friday is expected to stick around through Saturday.

Hail pounded the City around 11 a.m. Friday, causing confusion for some motorists. The hail quickly turned to a downpour.

There was a 40 percent chance of rain Friday night, and a 20 percent chance on Saturday, which prompted Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley to cancel its "A Brush With Kindness" project scheduled for Saturday. The project was a collaboration with the Murrieta stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints' "Mormons Helping Hands." Together, the group of about 400 volunteers planned to do minor repairs such as painting and yard work on 20 homes in Historic Downtown Murrieta.

The event has been rescheduled for April 30, said Kristi Reedy, a spokeswoman for Temecula-based Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley.

Friday's low temperature was forecast at 39 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Saturday's high was expected to be 57; it will likely remain cloudy all day. Sunday should be partly cloudy with a high of 65, according to the weather service.

This couldn't possibly happen in a worse place, given the proximity to the freeway, high school, andRead More numerous businesses. UGH! The following is the press release from MPD: On 05-21-13, at 3:27 AM, the Murrieta Police Department received a call of a water-main break in the area of California Oaks Road and Monroe Avenue. Murrieta Police and Murrieta Fire Department initially responded to the scene and discovered a large sinkhole in the westbound lanes of California Oaks Road just west of Jackson Avenue. The sinkhole was approximately 4 feet deep and about 20 feet across. The hydraulic pressure from the water-main break appears to have created this sinkhole and damaged all the westbound lanes of California Oaks from approximately Jackson to Monroe. As a result, the westbound lanes of California Oaks between Jackson and Monroe will be closed for repair until further notice. Rancho Water Officials estimate that these repairs will take approximately one week to complete. When traveling in this area please expect delays and plan an alternate route in order to arrive at your destination on time.

Hey Maggie, I don't get a chance to talk to the help desk but the ad has gone away for now. I justRead More made a comment on one of Carl Petersons blogs and now the comment has disappeared and no trace of it in my comment history. Are comments still pending proof reading before they post? Was it taken down by the blog author? I realize you guys have made a lot of changes so I'm still not sure if there are bugs being worked out or if some thing else is going on. Any help would be appreciated.

Philip rivers May 11, 2013 at 02:55 pm
The correct answer for today's picture is just creek side park!
Nancy May 11, 2013 at 10:48 am
As for today's answer, I believe it is Creekside Village Green park on Isaac St.
