An upper-level trough situated just off the California Coast resulted in an influx of moisture into southeast California. Showers and thunderstorms developed in the afternoon hours across the eastern half of Riverside County with a northward motion. Heavy rainfall, which resulted in flash flooding just north of Desert Center damaging a law enforcement vehicle, as well as blowing dust from outward propagating outflows were the primarily hazards from these storms. No injuries were reported.
