LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Another round of rain and snow will move through Southern California starting Monday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a winter weather advisory for parts of Los Angeles County.
A winter weather advisory is in effect for Los Angeles County mountains, including Acton and Mount Wilson, until 1 p.m. Tuesday. A winter storm watch will be in effect from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday evening.
Moderate snowfall of between 5 and 10 inches is expected during the winter weather advisory, according to the NWS. Heavy snow is possible Tuesday night and Wednesday, with 6 to 12 inches of snow expected for elevations above 5,000 feet, and as much as 15 inches in the San Gabriel Mountains. Wind gusts could reach 60 mph.
Dangerous driving conditions could result from the snowy and winter conditions, forecasters warned.
Southern California was just beginning to dry out from two days of virtually nonstop rain Sunday, although thousands of people remained without electricity in Los Angeles County.
