Strong Storm System Brings Heavy Mountain Snow to the Sierra Nevada and Critical Fire Weather Conditions to the Plains

A Pacific storm system will continue to bring low elevation rain and mountain snow to much of the West through Wednesday, with heavy mountain snow expected in the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada.

Snowfall amounts continue to trend downwards with the upcoming snow potential for tonight into Saturday. However, light snow accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are still possible for most locations, with locally higher amounts up to 3 inches. Given the warm ground, roads should remain mostly wet through the event, although if the snow can come down hard enough, a brief period of slush will be possible. The wet nature of the snow could lead to a few isolated power outages. Any snow will come to an end by Saturday afternoon.
