Frost Advisory Issued Again In Southwest Riverside County

SOUTHWEST RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — The frigid temperatures that Southwest Riverside County woke up to Monday morning are expected overnight again.

The National Weather Service issued a frost advisory until 8 a.m. Monday warning of near- freezing temperatures in some wind-sheltered locations in the Riverside metropolitan area, including Temecula, Hemet and Riverside. The advisory will take effect again from midnight Monday evening until 8 a.m. Tuesday morning and indicates a likelihood of temperatures dropping to the low-30s in those communities, according to the agency.

The advisories signify that widespread frost is expected and sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered, according to the NWS.

The Coachella Valley was not included in either advisory.

The two storm systems that brought rain over the weekend have exited to the east, but cool weather will remain until Tuesday, forecasters said. After that, highs will slowly rise through Thursday before dipping again on Friday in most areas.

High temperatures Monday are forecast to reach 67 in the Coachella Valley, 58 in the San Gorgonio Pass near Banning and Hemet, 61 in Riverside, 58 in Temecula and 41 in Idyllwild.
