Latest January Storm Sputters

Posted January 23, 2009, 8:01 AM.



Despite predictions at the onset of up to three quarters of an inch, a slow-moving storm has mostly disappointed. Rain totals were near 0.05" or less in most inland communities through Friday morning on the third day of the storm.

Wildomar and Menifee had recorded 0.06" through Friday morning to lead the pack of twelve WeatherCurrents communities.

Riverside was at the bottom of the WeatherCurrents communities, with no measurable rainfall recorded from the storm as of Friday morning.

In San Jacinto, precipitation was "very light," according to Monty Parrott. Only "occasional brief sprinkles and rain", with nothing measurable in the eastern part of town over the three days.

A chance of scattered showers was still predicted for Friday, but not much measurable rainfall was expected. Totals for Friday were generally expected to be less than 0.05".

A chance of light showers was also predicted over the weekend, potentially squeezed out of low-level moisture. Another storm was due sometime between late Sunday and Tuesday, but inconsistencies in weather model results were bring forecasts for that period into doubt.
