The blizzard warning, which is in effect Friday and Saturday for Southern California’s highest mountain ranges, is the first that forecasters are aware of issued by National Weather Service officials in the Los Angeles area.
A massive winter storm whipped the North while record-high temperatures were forecast in the South on a wild weather day across the U.S.Some areas could see snow at elevations as low as 1,500 feet. The Antelope Valley already recorded some snow early Wednesday and is likely to see more, Sweet said, and the Interstate 5 pass through the Grapevine should also see snow — though even lower-elevation snow remains possible.
Conditions will become more extreme late Thursday and early Friday, when the “cold core” of the storm will be right above Southern California, Sweet said. A blizzard warning has been issued for some L.A. and Ventura county mountains from 4 a.m.
