Issued Zones:  Riverside and San Bernardino Mountains above 8,000 FT …

Site:  Southern California Weather Force has issued a Blizzard Warning effective now for Saturday …

Date:  2/1/19 at 6:30pm PT

Forecast: A powerful frontal zone will come into the region.  The snow level for the most part over the day on Saturday will stay around 8,500 FT or the elevation of the Palm Springs Tram. 

Being at the elevation of the snow-level means not much accumulation in a short period of time so what we’re looking at over the day is indeed 6-12″ of snowfall at 8,500 FT and more above that.  The snow level drops to 5,500 FT by 7pm with light snowfall resuming. 

Because this will have 50-70 mph wind gusts… do feel the need for this blizzard warning over the day on Saturday.
