Winter Weather advisories are in effect for us here in northeast California, along with northwest Nevada and the Lake Tahoe Area, where snowfall amounts are most likely to range from several inches up to 1 foot.
Across lower elevations, roads could become icy and dangerous by Monday evening as temperatures drop below freezing.
For Thursday and Friday, a stronger Pacific storm will arrive with gusty winds, rain and snow. Significant snowfall is likely in the Sierra Thursday into Friday night. Rain and snow are likely in Western Nevada with some snow accumulation possible late Thursday night into Friday on the valley floors.
