Rain Showers, Big Temperature Drop Coming To Pass Area: NWS

BEAUMONT, CA — Dust those umbrellas off and grab your coat. It's about to change dramatically weather-wise here in the Pass Area, according to the National Weather Service.

Forecasters say the current "well above average high temperatures" are expected to continue Monday, but temperatures will drop about 10 degrees Tuesday — and then another 20 degrees on Wednesday. And with the drop in the temperatures, expect wet weather to arrive.

"While some showers are possible as early as Tuesday, the most widespread showers with the more significant precipitation are expected for Wednesday into Thursday," the NWS said in its forecast discussion on Monday. "Slow warming and drying for the end of the week into next weekend."

What's more, the snow level will drop on Wednesday night into Thursday "with a few inches of snowfall possible in the mountains of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties above 7000 feet."
