A new cold front coming to California motivated weather services to issue storm warnings Wednesday.
The system is the latest in a series of spring storms that has followed a dry winter that left California deep in drought.Widespread rain, heavy mountain snow and periods of gusty winds were predicted to begin Wednesday afternoon and last into Friday, possibly spreading showers down into Southern California, the National Weather Service said.
Higher elevations were expected to receive at least 1 foot to 2 feet of snow. Rainfall predictions ranged up to 3 inches , with possibly higher amounts if thunderstorms develop. Travelers were likely to face whiteout conditions, road closures and chain controls, forecasters said. Northwest swells are expected about 12 feet at 18-20 seconds early Thursday and 3-4 seconds more frequent from Thursday through early Saturday.
