A fast-moving, cold weather system blew through Southern California Saturday bringing heavy showers with two inches of rain to the Claremont area over the weekend. But sunny and warmer days are in the forecast through Wednesday with high temperatures in the 70s. That will be short-lived as more rain blows into town Thursday and Friday, dropping temperatures by 25 degrees. The cold weather will also bring more snow to the mountains, with snow reaching down to 4000 feet Friday.
