Scattered light showers, drizzle, clouds and wind arrived with a cold low pressure trough Monday.
The early season system looked to remain in place into Wednesday, and could bring a light dusting of mountain snow above 8,000 feet.
Measured rainfall on Monday was sporadic. De Luz led the way with 0.07", followed by Fallbrook with 0.05" and Wildomar with 0.03". Hemet recorded 0.02", and Temecula, San Jacinto and French Valley each had 0.01".
