Forecasters say wind gusts, blowing snow and poor visibility are expected Monday night in mountain passes and canyons. Frazier Park northwest of Los Angeles has gotten 4.5 inches of snow.
Winds were clocked at 35 mph today at the Los Angeles International Airport. Forecasters say downtown had nearly 2 inches of rain since Thursday, raising its seasonal total to 6.91 inches.
More rain is expected later in the week.
