Gavin Newsom visited Saturday. In Southern California, the sun shone in Los Angeles, but winter storm warnings and advisories were still in place for mountain areas, where many roads remained impassable because of mud and rock slides. Two northbound lanes of Interstate 5 near Castaic in northern LA County were closed indefinitely after a hillside collapsed.At least 20 storm-related deaths have occurred, andMostly dry days were in the week’s forecast for California starting Tuesday.
