Special Weather Statement
Special Weather Statement National Weather Service RENO NV 431 AM PST Sat Jan 23 2021 CAZ070>073-NVZ001>005-241245- Surprise Valley California-Lassen-Eastern Plumas- Eastern Sierra Counties-Greater Lake Tahoe Area-Mono County- Mineral and Southern Lyon Counties-Greater Reno-Carson City- Minden Area-Western Nevada Basin and Range including Pyramid Lake- Northern Washoe County- Including the cities of Cedarville, Eagleville, Fort Bidwell, Portola, Susanville, Westwood, Sierraville, Loyalton, South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City, Truckee, Markleeville, Bridgeport, Coleville, Lee Vining, Mammoth Lakes, Hawthorne, Yerington, Smith Valley, Mina, Schurz, Stateline, Glenbrook, Incline Village, Sparks, Verdi, Gardnerville, Virginia City, Fernley, Fallon, Lovelock, Silver Springs, Nixon, Imlay, Empire, and Gerlach 431 AM PST Sat Jan 23 2021 ...SERIES OF WINTER STORMS EXPECTED THROUGH NEXT WEEK... An active winter weather pattern will prevail through much of next week as a series of progressively stronger winter storms push through the Sierra and western Nevada. A significant winter storm is looking increasingly likely by late Tuesday through at least Thursday. Additional waves of moderate to heavy snowfall are possible through next weekend. Sunday night and Monday: The next storm in line is expected to be fairly modest but will bring several inches of accumulating snowfall to the Sierra and portions of western Nevada. There may also be a chance for lake- effect snow downwind from Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake, especially Monday. Be prepared for periods of slick travel with chain and snow tire requirements possible at times. Tuesday night into Thursday: A strong winter storm will likely bring heavy snowfall to the Sierra with major impacts possible. Several feet of snowfall will be possible across the Sierra during this period with low snow levels expected from the onset. The low snow levels will also allow western Nevada valleys to see snow a majority of the time during this period aside from a possible rain/snow mix Wednesday afternoon before changing back over to snowfall through Thursday. As snow levels will remain low, travel issues are becoming increasingly likely in western Nevada. Also keep in mind that if the storm turns out to trend towards the high-end of predictions, travel could wind up being impossible at times across the Sierra with areas of blizzard conditions and periodic road closures. Stay tuned to the latest forecasts and discussions. The pattern remains unsettled into at least early February with an additional storm possible around the start of the month. $$ http://weather.gov/reno
