Scattered, light showers could develop as early as Monday, but will be more widespread later Tuesday through Wednesday, with low elevation snow in the mountains, the NWS said.
Onshore winds were likely to strengthen through Tuesday, becoming strong and gusty over the mountains and deserts as a storm moves in from the north, the National Weather Service said.
Peak gusts in the wind-prone pass and foothill areas could reach 70 mph at times and 60 mph over the deserts, with considerable blowing dust. The snow level was predicted to fall to around 3,000 feet by Wednesday morning, likely enshrouding all of the mountains in winter storm conditions. Fog, blowing snow and slippery roads were expected to make travel hazardous, even in the lower passes.
