A major winter storm will impact the Sierra from late Sunday night through Wednesday, bringing heavy snow, strong winds, and dangerous travel.

The heaviest snow is expected Monday morning through evening, followed by a colder second wave Tuesday afternoon and evening. Strong winds Tuesday may cause near-zero visibility and whiteout conditions in the Sierra at times. Check with our friends at NDOT/CalTrans for the latest road information.

The Winter Storm Watch has been upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning for the greater Reno, Carson City, and Minden area for Tuesday. While rain and snow are expected today, the main snowfall impacts for the valley floors are expected Tuesday afternoon and evening. Valley floors could see 4 to 8 inches of snowfall, with foothill areas above 5,000 feet receiving 8 to 16 inches through Wednesday morning. Strong and gusty winds will accompany this storm, with Tuesday seeing gusts up to 50 mph and up to 60 mph in wind-prone locations. Localized blowing snow may impact wind prone areas. Plan on impacts to the Tuesday morning and evening commutes.
