A cold spring storm system made its way into Southern California, bringing another round of rain and mountain snow to an area that's been battered by storms in recent months.
The NWS said between 6 and 10 inches of snow is possible for elevations above 5,000 feet and up to 18 inches could fall on higher peaks. In addition to snowfall, it will be windy and winds gusts could reach 65 mph.
A Winter Storm Warning is in place for the eastern San Gabriel Mountain, which Includes Mt. Wilson and Mt. Baldy with heavy snow and strong winds expected in the area. More than 250 agencies — mostly irrigation districts — contract with the federal government for certain amounts of water each year, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announces each February how much of those contracts can be filled, updating as conditions change.
