...A LIGHT SNOWFALL EXPECTED FOR THE SIERRA TUESDAY NIGHT AND

WEDNESDAY...

A low pressure system is likely to bring a light snowfall to the

Sierra as well as far southern Lyon and far western Mineral counties,

mainly above 6500 to 7000 feet, Tuesday night through Wednesday

evening.

The current snowfall predictions are: up to an inch for Mount Rose

and Spooner Summits and Carson Pass, 2 to 4 inches for Ebbetts,

Sonora, and Tioga passes as well as for passes along Highway 395.

Even though accumulations will be light, hazardous driving conditions

on these roads are likely Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Precipitation is forecast to diminish by Wednesday evening but

temperatures will be cold enough to refreeze any melting that takes

place during the day.

Ensure your vehicles are prepped for winter conditions and be sure

to allow extra time to reach your destination. Also, leave extra

space between vehicles since it takes longer to stop on slick

roadways.
