A strong storm system that primarily impacted the region on January 31st with very strong winds and moderate precipitation was slowly winding down over the region early on February 1st. The system had just enough left to produce additional snowfall over the San Bernardino County mountains, isolated thunderstorms over the San Diego County coast and valleys, and gusty winds through the morning hours on February 1st.
