...ACTIVE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...
An active pattern will persist into next week. Quieter weather is
expected by mid to late next week.
* The next, stronger storm will push into the region late Monday
into Tuesday bringing another round of beneficial valley rain
and mountain snow.
* Saturday`s storm will exit the region in the evening; however,
residual light rain and snow showers are possible into early
Sunday morning. Travel over passes may be slick with snow
overnight. Please see the Winter Weather Advisory for additional
details concerning travel in the Sierra.
* The best chance for rain and snow will be late Monday into
Tuesday. The bulk of the precipitation is forecast for the
Sierra with light rain spillover possible into western Nevada.
Plan on periods of less-than-ideal travel conditions across the
Sierra passes due to snow and slick road conditions.
* Gusty winds will continue to be a concern, especially for
aviation travel. Winds will increase ahead of the storm Monday
into Tuesday with the strongest winds likely to be late Monday
night. Potential impacts include: travel restrictions due to
gusty crosswinds, hazardous conditions on area lakes, and
aviation turbulence. There is a 20% chance that damaging winds
(60+ mph) may surface in wind-prone locations. It is time to
secure or gather up previously wind-tossed items.
Be sure to keep tabs on the forecast if you have travel plans over
the weekend into early next week, especially if traveling in the
Sierra.
