Our first major storm of the season brought significant rainfall to all of Southern California with most areas picking up 1-3 inches of rain and little dusting of snow for some of our moutain communities, especially up at resort level. The heaviest precipitation has lifted north and east of our area, but the main low-pressure system will slowly drift out of the region today. This will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms with highs in the lower 40s, and gusty west to northwest winds 10-20 mph at times, and the snow level will remain above 7,500 feet today. We'll get a short break in the action tonight into early Monday before the next storm rolls into the area Monday afternoon. Expect clouds and winds to ramp back up Monday morning with rain and snow showers developing during the afternoon. Cool and windy with highs in the lower 40s as lows drop into the upper 20s and 30s, southwest winds gusting 20-30 mph. This storm will be a bit colder with the snow level starting out near 7,500 feet on Monday, but should drop to around 6,000 feet by Monday night and 5,500 on Tuesday, where 3-6 inches of snow are possible. Expect another short lull in activity on Wednesday, with more unsettled weather possible on Thursday and Friday, though it's still too early for a lot of details. We're off to a great start for our 25/26 winter season with more rain and snow on the way! If you have travel plans up into the mountains through next week, be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions, and always carry tire chains.
