Interstate 5 through the Grapevine was closed Thursday morning amid heavy snow as a second powerful winter storm moved into Southern California on Thanksgiving Day.
A storm rolling into Southern California was bringing dangerous driving conditions to the Grapevine on Wednesday as Thanksgiving travel picked up.
Wednesday’s downpours were not always long-lasting, but they could be intense. Record rainfall for the day was reported in a few spots including Santa Barbara Airport, Santa Maria and Lancaster, which had 0.43 inches. “It’s kind of like a fire hose, which is hard to control,” said Carolina Walbrun, meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Monterey office. “Right now, we’re confident that there’s going to be rain, and a lot of it, on Saturday afternoon through Sunday. Where the heaviest precipitation is going to be is still uncertain.”
Rich Thompson, meteorologist with the weather service’s Oxnard office, reiterated that, in Southern California, the atmospheric river could bring a good soaking to the L.A. area by Wednesday or Thursday.Motorists were stuck overnight on Interstate 5 between Redding and the Oregon border before the roadway was closed. They caught the brunt of the cold statewide storm system, which unleashed heavy rain, blustery winds and low-elevation mountain snow.
