Southern California is bracing Monday for its first significant winter storm, which is expected to usher in three days of rain, mountain snow and gusty winds before tapering off Wednesday.

The incoming storm that originated in the Gulf of Alaska is expected to move into the region Monday, with the first band of rain reaching San Luis Obispo County by the afternoon before moving south the rest of the day, according to the National Weather Service. Showers will be light to moderate for most of Monday, while mountainous regions could get snow at elevations of 7,000 feet and higher on Tuesday to as low as 4,000 feet by Wednesday.

“This is a very considerable storm and a lot stronger than the previous storms we’ve had this season,” said NWS forecaster David Sweet. “Today, we’ll be getting the run-up to the big storm with light rain showers occurring across the area, but the biggest part of the storm arrives Tuesday.”

The storm is expected to reach its peak Tuesday before winding down on Wednesday morning and turning into scattered showers. The storm is expected to bring L.A. County about 1 to 3 inches of rain in the lower elevations, with the mountains expected to get between 2 to 3 inches.
