Brace Yourself For A Cold Front Bringing Rain, Snow And Possible Problems Along The Grapevine
The National Weather Service is forecasting rain across a wide area of Southern California starting Tuesday through Thursday.

Topline:
Los Angeles County will see some wind and a bit of rain starting Tuesday night. The cold front is expected to last until Friday morning, bringing up to a quarter-inch of rain in some areas — and up to two inches of snow in the mountains.
What can we expect? Possible travel delays through the Grapevine on Wednesday and Thursday. The National Weather Service advises motorists to avoid traveling in the overnight and morning hours because of the possibility of snow as temperatures drop.
Why it's unusual: "It's a little early in the season, perhaps for most people to think about [travel problems]," said Dave Bruno, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "Sometimes that first storm catches people off guard."

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
