About 70,000 customers in California remained without power on Sunday, according to PowerOutage, which tracks the outage.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), a series of “weak storms” will pass through Los Angeles Sunday night through Wednesday, with temperatures reaching a high of 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Celsius).
Meanwhile, a more severe storm threatening the West Coast mountains would have a “significant impact” on travel, the NWS said in a tweet. The Los Angeles Water and Power Authority tweeted Sunday morning that it had restored power to about 40,000 people since Saturday morning. However, 53,000 people remain without power, and those facing blackouts warn he will have to plan for 24-48 hours until crews are available.
The next series of storms, expected on Sunday, will bring gusts of 50 mph (80 km/h) over the Sacramento Valley and 70 mph over the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains.
Yosemite National Park was closed until Wednesday due to severe winter weather.
