Flooding and debris flows closed Highway 38 near Yucaipa. Scattered showers are predicted through Monday.
Forecasters are predicting a chance of monsoonal showers and thunderstorms in areas of Southern California on Sunday night, with heavy rain having fallen already in the San Bernardino Mountains and the high desert.
Areas just south of Big Bear got 1.3 inches of rainfall Sunday, and there were downpours in the eastern Antelope Valley, meteorologists said. A flash flood watch was in effect until 10 p.m. Sunday in Los Angeles and Ventura county mountains, as well as the Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys. “This is our monsoon season,” said Dan Gregoria, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Diego. “But moisture levels are really high right now for this region.”
Some scattered showers — but fewer than on Sunday — will probably continue through at least Monday, especially in the mountains and deserts, according to the National Weather Service. In Yucaipa, 10 miles east of San Bernardino, flooding and debris flows shut down Highway 38 near Angelus Oaks early Sunday morning, said California Highway Patrol Officer Jacob Grieda.Hwy 38 closed at Valley of the Falls Dr. Due to mud on the roadway near Angelus Oaks.
