...MORE UNSETTLED WINTER WEATHER ON THE WAY...

Tonight: Areas of freezing fog are once again possible tonight,
especially locations that saw freezing fog the previous night.
Visibility will reduce below one mile with a few spots going below
1/2 mile. Motorists should exercise caution when encountering fog
to avoid running into vehicles from behind. Also, roads may
become slick as the fog freezes to the road.

For Wednesday: A low pressure system will approach the California
coast tonight and move across southern Nevada Wednesday. Snow
will spread into the eastern Sierra late tonight and Wednesday
morning and then north and east into the Tahoe Basin and western
Nevada Wednesday afternoon. Confidence is highest in several
inches of snow accumulation across Mono County and foothills of
Mineral and southern Lyon Counties. However, light snow could
spread as far north as the I-80 corridor during the late morning
and afternoon and produce some spotty light accumulations for
foothill locations.

For this weekend: A stronger storm is forecast to arrive Friday
afternoon and continue over the weekend. This storm will bring
another round of heavy wet snow to the high Sierra and rain for
the lower elevations. As snow levels fall late Saturday afternoon
into Sunday, some snow accumulation is possible for northeast
California and foothills locations as well. If you have plans to
travel through the Sierra this weekend, make sure to watch the
weather forecast closely.
