Big rainfall in southern California has caused some serious problems with flooding. Right in the middle of what is considered the dry season, they are getting some 1-2 inch rains and although it doesn't sound like much, it came down fast enough to wash away this section of I-10. This pickup was in the wrong place at the wrong time and a man was trapped for awhile. Remnants of Dolores continues to push moisture up into southern California and there will likely be heavy rains around Las Vegas too. Flooding is never good, but they need the rain in those drought stricken locations.
The weather pattern around here will allow for spotty rain and storms through Wednesday. Several systems tracking across the northern Plains have flattened the high pressure system over Texas. That's allowing for the temperatures to cool down, but only slightly. And it won't last for too long.
Just in time for the end of the week and into the weekend, the center of the high pressure will be working it's way back over Kansas and the central US. As it does so, our temperatures will go back to near 100 with limited rainfall opportunities coming up for Kansas. Summer is far from over.
