OVERVIEW:

Computer model differences leading to greater uncertainty in eventual areas which may experience the heaviest rainfall. The best window for rainfall still appears to be Monday night through Tuesday night. A combination of deep tropical moisture and a closed low pressure system moving inland across southern California is the best type of pattern for widespread rainfall for the Mojave Desert region. Isolated embedded thunderstorms may develop which could bring localized very heavy rainfall for some spots.
