CAJON PASS, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> Round two of three storms going to hit late Sunday night into Monday with good chances of snow level will drop to about 2,000 feet.
The Southern California Weather Force Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning issue Sunday night January 24, 2021 and Monday. Map below are the project images from the SCWF models of snow fall Monday.
If you need to drive up or down the pass Monday morning, I would say just say home it’s not worth it. There is no job worth your life, being at home will be the safest place to be. The storm should move out in the afternoon. The evening commute should be good, just scattered showers in the afternoon. The bulk timing of this storm is around 10pm Sunday to 5am Monday.
CHP and Caltrans will try to keep the Cajon Pass lanes free of snow, but if the weather turns bad they will close the freeway down. CHP also says make sure you have a full tank of gas if you are coming up or down the Cajon Pass in bad weather.
