| A very cold, Canadian low-pressure system will slowly approach the area today with snow showers likely, the snow could become heavy at times, especially by afternoon as the low inches closer. Cold and windy with highs in the 30's, south-southwest winds gusting to around 35 mph will push wind chill values down near zero! The snow level will lower to around 3,000 feet tonight and Monday with snow showers continuing, a few thunderstorms with thundersnow is possible. This closed low-pressure system will slowly move inland across Southern California Monday before exiting the region on Tuesday. We will also have to watch for potential wrap-around moisture which could boost snowfall totals even more as moisture could linger into Wednesday. With such a cold storm, we are looking at a high water-snow ratio, allowing the drier snow to pile up where accumulations of 1-2 feet are still expected with higher amounts possible in a few areas, especially above 7,500 feet. Travelers should be prepared for treacherous travel in near blizzard-like conditions at times over the next several days. This winter storm will exit the region later Tuesday or early Wednesday with cool & breezy conditions expected for the remainder of the week. Another weaker storm is possible next weekend, but details on that are TBD at this time. If you have travel plans into the mountains this weekend, be prepared for extremely hazardous, winter weather driving, and always carry chains!
