It’s ramping up to be a big weekend of precipitation, as a storm system brings heavy snow to the Sierra and rain to drought-parched Southern California.
The storm could dump as much as 6 feet of snow in parts of the Sierra and up to 5 feet on certain peaks of the northern Coast Ranges and in the southern Cascades in Shasta County.
Weather officials say the precipitation should reach Southern California around 10 p.m. Saturday, with 1 to 3 inches of rain overnight across the coast and valleys and as much as 6 inches near the foothills. Unlike thethat blasted through Northern California but petered out before hitting Los Angeles, this storm is expected to be much steadier.
“It’ll start raining possibly in the evening, but the heaviest rain will be mainly in the overnight hours, probably before sunrise ... and then some lighter showers tomorrow through the day,” Kristen Stewart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard, said Saturday. “And after this first round of rain ... some shower activity is possible through Sunday, and then possibly into Monday as well.
A winter storm warning is in effect through Monday afternoon for the interior mountain areas of Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties, where 8 to 16 inches of snow is expected to accumulate above 7,000 feet. Motorists should brace for icy roads and expect travel delays along the Tejon Pass and Grapevine area of Interstate 5.
