A cold winter storm brought rain totals from a quarter of an inch to almost an inch of rain, snow will continue into early morning. Chilly temperatures will linger for a few days, before we start warming up.

Snow will get heavier tonight with snow levels around 4,000' falling to 3,500' to 3,000' overnight. Traveling through the mountains will be difficult and should be avoided if possible.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect until 10am Tuesday. We expect 1 to 3 inches of snow between 4,000' and 5,000', 3 to 7 inches between 5,000' to 5,500' and 7 to 12" for our highest peaks.

  • Elevations above 4,000': Julian, Ranchita
  • Elevations above 3,500': Pine Valley, Descanso

Showers end very early tomorrow morning with sunny skies returning but the cold air will linger. Tonight, and Tuesday night will be very cold with 30s for most inland and deserts areas, 20s for the coldest spots, including the mountains.

Gradually warming the rest of the week, but temperatures will be trending below average through Wednesday. We'll see better warming late week into the weekend, as temperatures will be back near average.
