A cold weather system headed toward L.A. County is expected to push snow levels down to 3,000 feet Saturday, prompting road closure alerts and warnings that travel on the Grapevine could be affected, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The storm system could bring 1 to 3 inches of snow to as low as 3,000 feet, and up to 6 inches above 4,500 feet, according to the National Weather Service. The snow, combined with wind gusts of up to 55 mph, is expected to make traversing the Grapevine a challenge, forecasters warned.
Officials have already announced plans to close the Angeles National Forest Highway between Aliso Canyon Road and Upper Big Tujunga Road beginning at 1 a.m. Saturday. Upper Big Tujunga Road between Angeles Crest Highway and Angeles Forest Highway will also be shut down.
