Another round of snow arrives Thursday! As such, Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for the Sierra and the Reno-Carson-Minden area early Thursday through Thursday night.
High Avalanche Danger continues for the backcountry around the Greater Lake Tahoe Area through 5 AM Friday. Rapidly accumulating snow, weak layers in the existing snowpack, and gusty winds are creating dangerous avalanche conditions. Traveling in, near or below backcountry avalanche terrain is not recommended.
Oh Snow! The next quick-moving storm will bring additional snow accumulations and travel impacts for the Sierra, NE California, and far western Nevada tomorrow.
