Cold Storm Brings Rain, Windy Conditions

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A cold storm will bring windy and wet weather to the Southland Thursday.

There is a high wind warning in effect until 10 p.m. as winds could increase to 60 mph.

The cold weather combined with light rain has caused snowfall in the San Gabriel Mountains.

The California Highway Patrol closed Interstate 5 through the Grapevine around 8 a.m. for almost two hours due to snow and icy conditions.

Officials warn residents to reduce speeds while driving as the wind can cause poor visibility and the wet and cold roads can be slick with ice.

High surf and flooding is expected along the coast.

A flood advisory remains in effect from San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles until 11 a.m. Saturday.

A surf advisory will go into effect at 12 p.m. Wednesday through 2 p.m. Saturday.
