National Weather Service says heavy snow could cause whiteout conditions in the mountains and intense rain at the coast, where flooding is expected.
The storm that will hit San Diego County Friday night and early Saturday will produce snow heavy enough to cause whiteout conditions in the mountains and possibly on Interstate 8 east of Pine Valley, and heavy rains that will cause streams and rivers to rage with runoff through highly populated areas, the National Weather Service said.
His colleague, Liz Shenck, said, “People should absolutely not try to drive up to the mountains to see this, even if they’ve driven in snow before. It would be difficult if not impossible to drive. There could be a whiteout.”Heavy snow and rain are expected with a winter storm hitting San Diego County this weekend. Here’s advice from officials and what to know to keep safe.
Officials said there were three snowplows working the area but said they couldn’t keep up with the snow, which fell to the 2,000-foot level overnight.
