Residents of the San Bernardino County mountains are bracing for potential blizzard conditions Friday and Saturday, joining their western neighbors preparing for extreme winter weather as a massive storm moves into Southern California.
The National Weather Service office in San Diego issued its first-ever blizzard warning, it said Thursday, putting the San Bernardino County mountains on alert following a similar warning for the mountains of Los Angeles and Ventura counties earlier this week.
The blizzard warnings for the three counties will be in effect from 4 a.m. Friday through 4 p.m. Saturday, when the brunt of the storm is expected to hit the region.
