Sun Breaks Through in the Pass, Mountains Still Shrouded by Storm

The sun broke through Tuesday afternoon, cutting through remnants of a cold storm system that brought rain to the Pass and snow in the mountains over the past two days.

But the high mountains on both sides of the Pass remained shrouded in dense, dark cloud cover, and scattered showers remained possible at lower elevations through Tuesday evening, according to the National Weather Service.

Light snowfall was also possible above 4,500 feet elevation.

The recent storm brought .36 of one inch of rain to Beaumont and 4 inches of snow to Pine Cove, according to the Weather Service.

Overnight lows Tuesday from 35 to 40 degrees were expected from Beaumont to Cabazon, and daytime highs in the 50s are likely Wednesday.

"For Thursday night through the weekend . . . a low pressure system over the northern Gulf of California could bring another round of showers and mountain snow . . . along with periods of gusty north to northeast winds to inland areas," the Weather Service advised.
