...Winter Storm Tonight into Sunday...



* A moderate winter storm will impact the Sierra and western

  Nevada starting this evening. For western Nevada, scattered rain

  showers will develop this evening through most of Saturday.

  Strong and gusty winds with gusts of 40-50 mph are possible

  Saturday. Travel impacts due to wind are possible on normally

  wind prone roads. Up in the mountains periods of heavy snow are

  likely this evening onward with significant impacts on the passes.



* A period of heavier rains is likely Saturday evening before

  changing to light snow showers by Sunday morning for lower

  valleys. The heavy rains could lead to minor flooding of poor 

  drainage areas. Snow impacts to travel are possible early Sunday

  morning however accumulation amounts will be light.



* Prepare now for this next storm by ensuring your vehicle is

  ready for snow. Plan on there being travel delays due to rain or

  snow this weekend. Also take some time to check and clean

  gutters and drains around your property.
