Let it snow: After a devastating storm, snowfall hit the mountains

With the heaviest rain behind, San Diego County braces for snow on Tuesday as a series of winter storms continue to batter the region.

Snow levels were expected to fall below 5,000 Monday night and even lower Tuesday morning as a cold front moves into Southern California, bringing snow to areas as low as Pine Valley.

A winter weather warning is in effect until Tuesday noon for mountainous areas where snow accumulations can reach up to 4 inches and winds up to 65 mph are expected.

The National Weather Service said the snowfall is expected to be slushy, which could create slippery road conditions for drivers during evening and morning commutes, especially on Interstate 8.

Several schools in the Eastern District were closed on Tuesday due to a snow storm.

In addition to snow, some rain from this storm system will continue into Tuesday afternoon, according to NBC 7 meteorologist Sheena Parveen.

The system that fails will be much weaker on Tuesday than the day before, when it toppled trees, flooded roads and cut power to thousands of San Diegan residents.

On the coast and inland valleys on Tuesday morning, the sun shone through occasional showers.

A double rainbow appears over Mount Coles after a severe storm on January 17, 2023.

Heavy rains will ease significantly by Tuesday afternoon due to several days of dry weather in San Diego, Parvin said. The much smaller system is expected to bring less than a quarter of an inch of rain on Thursday ahead of a dry weekend.
