Southern California Prepares for Heavy Rain and Snow Next Week
After a brief period of warmer, dry weather this weekend, back-to-back storms are forecast to bring significant precipitation to California, with Southern California expecting the heaviest impact.
- A recent storm left Southern California with up to 1.5 inches of rain and light snow in mountain areas, including the Grapevine, with dry conditions expected through the weekend.
- Temperatures across California will warm slightly over the weekend, with highs reaching the 60s and 70s in many regions, though frost advisories are in effect for some inland areas overnight.
- Two storm systems are expected to bring heavy rain and mountain snow starting early next week, with the first system targeting Southern California on Monday and Tuesday.
- The second, stronger storm will impact Northern California and the Sierra midweek, potentially bringing several inches of rain and heavy snowfall to higher elevations.
- Meteorologists are monitoring the possibility of an atmospheric river event midweek, which could intensify rainfall, snow, and winds, though the exact impacts remain uncertain.
