Winter weather pounds SoCal with hail, lightning, snow

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A winter-like storm hit Southern California quickly on a spring Sunday, bringing hail, lightning and even snow to mountain communities.

Hail fell inland from West Covina and Chino Hills to further east areas of San Bernardino County.

A funnel cloud was spotted in the San Dimas area, and a land spout was seen in Victorville Sunday afternoon. Residents were warned to stay inside if possible.





Lightning was also seen in some areas, while snow fell at the 4,500-foot level in the mountains.



The storms came just days after the region saw more typical summer-like conditions in the 80-degree range.
