Winter Weather Advisory

Heads up, Sierra travelers! Winter is making its long awaited return Tuesday through Wednesday with wind and snow reaching all the way down to lake level. Driving is going to be tough, especially over the passes, so plan accordingly. We’ll get a short break on Thursday, but don't let your guard down—winds pick up again Friday as another storm rolls in for much of the Valentine’s Day weekend through Monday February 16. Make sure those car kits are restocked and keep your winter gear handy!

The first significant Sierra storm in over a month will arrive by Monday evening and continue through Wednesday, bringing snow from the Tahoe basin southward to Mono County. Prepare for slick roads, travel delays and chain controls on Sierra roads with impacts to the morning and evening commutes Tuesday and also the Wednesday morning commute. Snowfall amounts of 10-18 inches are expected for the higher elevations including all main highway passes/summits (Donner, Echo, Carson, Mt. Rose), with 4-10” (locally up to 12”) down to lake level in the Tahoe basin, and for areas near and west of US-395 in Mono and Alpine counties.
