Welcome to the second day of winter.

The cold front that passed over the area last night brought "scattered shower activity" (20% chance of rain), the National Weather Service said in a special weather statement this morning. 60-70 miles per hour gusts are expected in the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys while gusts in the rest of the Southland could get up to 50 miles per hour.

High temperatures are expected to be in the 60s with lows in the 40s. Some areas will experience sub-freezing temperatures. Snow levels have fallen to as low as 3,000 feet.
