Rain Dampens Parts of Southwest Riverside County

Growing cloud coverage over southwest Riverside County brought sprinkles to the area Tuesday afternoon but was not expected to drop much precipitation, the National Weather Service is reporting.

Rain drops spotted in parts of the region were due to subtropical moisture expected to continue to filter across Southern California for the next 24 to 48 hours, NWS reported.

As the moisture increases on Wednesday and Thursday, a slight chance of afternoon and early evening showers and thunderstorms was forecast.

Otherwise, very warm conditions were expected to continue to prevail with only some minor fluctuations or cooling in temperatures possible, according to NWS.

There were no special weather statements in effect as of 4 p.m. Tuesday.
