BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — The atmospheric river that began impacting the forecast area will continue to impact the forecast area through today, tonight, and early tomorrow morning.
The strong winds that impacted the West Side Hills and Kern County alongside the moderate winds that impacted the rest of the San Joaquin Valley and Sierra Foothills have tapered off due to a cold front that is passing through the area.
Rain and snow will continue to impact much of the forecast area through very early Tuesday morning. Additional snow amounts of 6 inches or more are possible throughout much of the Sierra Nevada, and localized amounts of an additional foot are possible in higher elevations.
This additional snowfall will continue to heavily impact travel and roads. The WSSI still has much of the Sierra experiencing major impacts throughout the day. The Winter Storm Warning will continue through early Tuesday morning at 4 a.m.
