The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works has released the following information about the coming storm through noon Wed., Dec. 29:
RAINFALL:They are predicting 0.5 inches of rain up to 1.25 inches of rain for areas south of Point Conception
WINDS: The mountain areas, on the north side of the San Gabriel Mountains and Antelope Valley are likely to experience cold, damaging winds. Remember that in Altadena, the combination of strong winds and saturated soil may result in toppled trees. Stay safe!
SNOW: The north Los Angeles County areas of Castaic and Gorman/ Grapevine area, as well as north facing mountain area slopes may see snow levels drop to 2,000 feet. Snow is expected after midnight tonight in the mountain areas
ROAD CLOSURES: No new road closures for Los Angeles County have been announced. The closure for the Chaney Trail gate may remain in effect. Additional road closures in the Forest areas may be announced at a later time
EVACUATIONS: No evacuations have been announced by Los Angeles County
FLOOD, MUD & DEBRIS FLOWS: At this point, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works is indicating that there is little probability for flooding conditions, mud and debris flows. Because the Altadena burn areas may experience flooding, mud and debris flows at the Canyon Crest bridge, please stay vigilant. Crews from Public Works monitored the Canyon Crest bridge area during last week’s storms to help make sure that debris flowing downstream didn’t cause problems at the bridge. If or when circumstances warrant in the coming storm event, they will be monitoring the storm flows in the area.
Stay safe!
