A winter storm brought rain and snowfall to San Diego County today, with another storm slated to hit the region early next week following a brief reprieve this weekend.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning that will be in effect until 6 p.m. in the county mountains, which are expected to receive another two to five inches of snow, primarily in areas above 3,500 feet.
Snowy mountain conditions led authorities to shut down portions of Interstate 8 and state Route 79, but lanes were reopened just before noon.
Chain controls are in effect for two-wheel drive vehicles on Sunrise Highway between Old Highway and state Route 79, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Heavy snowfall could limit visibility and cause tree branches to fall. NWS officials advised that travelers driving in the mountains should keep extra flashlights, food and water in the vehicle in case of an emergency.
While the wet conditions are expected to let up this weekend, another storm is on track to reach San Diego County on Monday and could bring light precipitation through Tuesday, forecasters said.
The NWS predicted as much as 10 inches of snow in San Diego County mountain areas at and above 6,000 feet during next week's storm.
