Gusty northeast winds will develop tonight across the Santa Ana wind-prone region of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. The strongest winds will be over the mountains and foothills, with gusts 40-50 mph, and a bit lower in the valleys and coastal areas with gusts of 30-45 mph.

Minor tweaks to forecast this morning: - Upped rain totals and snow totals slightly - With low snow levels, there is some concern about accumulating snow across the Antelope Valley foothills and maybe a dusting on the AV valley floor. #CAwx
Cold winter storm for SoCal today thru Monday. Main issue will be low snow levels, dropping to 2500-3000 feet tonight and Monday. So, there may be some hazardous wintry driving conditions across the mountain passes and even the Antelope Valley foothills.

Most areas will received one quarter inch or less of rainfall, although the San Gabriel Mountains could receive between one quarter to three quarters of an inch of rainfall. The main issue with this storm will be snow levels. Snow levels on Sunday will drop to around 4,000 feet, but will drop even further Sunday night and Monday, down to the near 3,000 feet. So, mountain areas can expect some accumulating snowfall, with 1-2 inches of snow possible on the Grapevine.
