A strong winter storm will bring gusty winds and heavy snow to our area this weekend. Snow showers will begin early Saturday morning and will continue through early next week. Several feet of snow will be possible in the Sierra which will make for dangerous travel conditions over the mountain passes. Winds will also be a factor with gusts 45+ mph at times.
After a quiet Friday, another storm will roll in over the weekend. Expect heavy Sierra snow. Valleys will see a windy Saturday, followed by several inches of snow Saturday night into Sunday. Unsettled, cold weather will persist through next week. -Jeff
