California’s First Significant Rain, Snow This Season

The first significant storm system of the season will bring rain to much of the state of California and snow to the Sierra. Rain will move into Northern California and the Central Coast Monday. Showers and storms start to impact Southern California Monday night into Tuesday. A few severe storms can’t be ruled out with gusty winds as the main threat. Flood watches are in effect for Southern California, including Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, where 1-3 inches will be possible. While rain is falling along the coast, snow will be piling up in the higher elevations. More on the timing here.
