Significant weather on tap for Southern California this week.

A week full of stormy weather that could potentially put a dent in the severe drought plaguing California will begin its prowess starting today. The first in a series of systems will be very cold in origin, drawing down cold air from Canada and dropping snow levels to below 2000 ft and creating fridged conditions in areas with freezing fog and black ice by Tuesday morning (Dec 8). Snow accumulations could be as deep as 3-4 feet at mountain resorts. The second storm in the series will arrive Wednesday and will be more tropical in origin, a true El Nino influenced pattern. That system will have the potential to cause widespread flooding and mudflows. More and that as we get closer to the event. The third system arrives next weekend adding additional significant rainfalls, but it is still too early to sink our teeths into yet.

Stay tuned.
