Drivers in Southern California’s
mountains were told to use tire chains and urban commuters were cautioned to
slow down Friday as a spring storm dropped rain and snow from Santa Barbara to
San Diego counties.
The storm moved in Thursday night,
bringing more than half an inch of rain to Whittier and nearly as much to
Pomona and Claremont, where the brief, heavy downpours were mixed with hail,
the National Weather Service reported.
The storm was stronger in Orange County,
where quick downpours in fire-scarred areas could trigger mudflows. More than
an inch of rain fell in Silverado Canyon, but no incidents have been reported,
the weather service said.
Snow was below 5,000 feet in the
mountains, forcing drivers to use chains to get through some windy passes.
“It’s kind of like a normal winter
storm, but it’s a little bit late,” said meteorologist James Brotherton. “By
midday today, just about everywhere will have seen some rain.”
