Los Angeles, CA – A weak Pacific storm system is set to move through Southern California from Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing light rain and mountain snow, according to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard.
Forecasters say rain totals will generally range from 0.25 to 0.50 inches, with locally higher amounts up to 1 inch possible in mountain and foothill areas of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. Snow levels will drop to around 5,500 feet, where 1–4 inches of snow could accumulate.
According to the NWS, impacts are expected to be minor, though some areas may see slick roads and minor traffic delays. Gusty winds may also develop along the coast and higher terrain, increasing the risk of downed trees, power outages, and hazardous seas.
Rain chances peak Tuesday night into early Wednesday, then taper off by Wednesday evening, with improving conditions expected by Thursday.
Residents are advised to use caution on wet roads and stay alert for changing conditions, especially in mountain passes.
