...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.
