The most interesting part is that warm water off the coast is going to give these storms some strength. And why is that happening? Well, it's a sign of El Niño.
Snow levels will start at 7,000 feet and come down to 5,500 feet Thursday night, bringing 1 to 2 feet of snow at resort levels. There will be some gusty winds reaching up to 40 mph, up to 60 mph in windier locations like the mountains. Friday is when we'll see a couple of inches of snow to the I-5 corridor and Tejon Pass.
We'll get a break from the rain come Friday night into Saturday. The second storm is expected to pick back up Sunday through Tuesday. Stay tuned for the latest updates.
This day in history
On this day in 1998 high surf up to 20 feet pounded the Orange county coast.

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.
