Happy Sunday, Kern County. Although it's officially spring, our area will continue to feel the impacts of this latest storm system Sunday night through Monday.
A winter weather advisory has been issued for mountain areas including Frazier Park and Tehachapi. This advisory expires 5:00 a.m. Monday. Snow showers are expected in mountain areas above 4,000 feet elevation. Little to no accumulation is expected for Tehachapi, but Frazier Park could have one to two inches accumulate Sunday night into Monday.
