Storm Warnings, Flood Alerts and Tax Scam Concerns Lead San Bernardino Headlines

San Bernardino is heading into the weekend with weather alerts, public safety warnings and community concerns making headlines.

Winter Storm Warning for Mountain Areas

A winter storm warning remains in effect for the San Bernardino County Mountains as a slow-moving system brings heavy snow, gusty winds and dangerous travel conditions. Forecasters say higher elevations could see significant snowfall through early next week, with blowing snow reducing visibility on major routes.

Drivers heading toward Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead or along stretches of Interstate 15 and Highway 330 are urged to check road conditions before traveling. Authorities are also reminding residents to prepare for possible power outages.

Flood Advisory in Cajon Pass and I-15 Corridor

At lower elevations, heavy rain and strong winds have triggered a flood advisory in parts of the Cajon Pass and along the I-15 corridor. Officials warn that brief downpours could lead to ponding on roadways and minor flooding in low-lying areas.

Motorists are advised to slow down during rainstorms and avoid driving through standing water. Emergency crews are monitoring storm drains and flood-prone areas as the system moves across the region.

County Warns of Property Tax Check Fraud

San Bernardino County is also alerting property owners about potential check fraud ahead of the upcoming property tax deadline. Officials say mailed payments can be targeted if envelopes are stolen or altered.

Residents are encouraged to consider secure payment options, including online payments or using official drop boxes, to reduce the risk of theft.

With severe weather and financial scams both in focus, local officials are urging residents to stay informed and take extra precautions in the days ahead.
