...Weak, quick moving system to bring light snow and gusty winds
to the Sierra...

* A weak system is expected to push through northeast California
Thursday night into Friday. Southwest winds will begin to
increase Thursday afternoon in the higher terrain, peaking early
Friday morning. Ridgetop gusts of 70 to 100 mph could result in
some aviation and mountain recreation disruptions. Winds will
begin to diminish Friday afternoon.

* Light snow showers will move into the Sierra on Friday. While
accumulations are expected to be minimal, we may see up to 2
inches along the crest and a dusting down into the Tahoe Basin.
Even light accumulations on the roadway can create slick and
hazardous conditions. Download Caltran`s Quickmap app on your
smart phone to get the latest roadway conditions before heading
over the passes on Friday.

* A second, stronger system is still expected to move into the
Sierra Saturday night through Sunday. This winter storm will
bring more widespread snow and wind impacts to northeast
California, so stay tuned to the latest forecast.
