Forecasters say “all eyes” are on Thursday through Saturday, when even Southern California could see several feet of fresh powder in the mountains around Los Angeles.
“It’s bringing all of that cold air down to Southern California — we’re getting the full brunt,” said meteorologist David Sweet of the incoming system.
Early February was marked by a notable return to dryness, with less than an inch of precipitation falling statewide. Now, residents are being battered byas low as 1,500 feet. Should forecasts manifest, the L.A. and Ventura County mountains could receive the “largest amount of 24- [to] 48-hour snowfall seen in decades,” rivaling the winter storm in 1989, the weather service said.
The low-pressure system originated off of western Canada and is composed of multiple waves of energy, he said. Though it is not like the “classic” atmospheric rivers that hit the state in late December and early January, the system will connect with moisture over the Pacific as it moves south, signaling heavy rain and snow.
