Driving to Southern California’s mountains? Here’s what to know with more snow on the way – NBC Los Angeles
A winter storm with significant snow and rain is expected in California from Sunday into early next week, following a system on Thursday that brought snow to the Los Angeles and San Bernardino county mountains. This storm, fueled by an atmospheric river over the Pacific, is expected to result in widespread rain and snowfall in the mountains, with potential rock and mud slides and flooding of small streams and rivers. The San Bernardino County Department of Public Works and the California Highway Patrol have advised travelers to be prepared with chains and to follow safety guidelines, including using headlights in rain or fog, maintaining a safe distance between vehicles, and staying with your vehicle if it breaks down. For those traveling to higher elevations, snowfall is expected above 6,000 feet through Monday night, lowering to around 4,000 feet by Tuesday.
