Forecasters are warning that intense blizzard conditions could develop in the coming hours across the higher terrains of California, forcing the closures of some of the state's most travelled mountain passes.

Sierra Nevada will be under the greatest threat of blizzard conditions as what is being hailed as the biggest California snow storms of the season takes aim during the second half of the week.
