Knott’s Berry Farm to close early due to ‘inclement weather’

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – Knott’s Berry Farm announced Wednesday that it’s closing early due to “inclement weather.”

The theme park announced that it will close at 5 p.m. on Wednesday and select California Marketplace locations will be open until 6 p.m.

Southern California is bracing for its third winter storm event in less than a month, and this system is expected to be the strongest yet.

A small system moved into the region on Wednesday, with skies turning cloudy early and showers arriving in Los Angeles County in the evening.

“The main thrust of the storm, though, will begin Thursday morning along the Central Coast and mid-afternoon to early evening across Ventura and LA counties,” according to the National Weather Service.

According to the weather agency, heavy rain can be expected Thursday morning in Orange County, with a slight chance of thunderstorms Thursday evening.
