WIND: Gusty winds will continue through the evening with the strongest winds remaining across Mono County. Southwest wind gusts around 40-50 mph will continue through the early evening with wind prone areas along US-395 seeing localized higher gusts up to 65 mph. Winds to turn north for all locations tonight behind the front. Expect choppy lakes, turbulence and wind shear for aviation, and potential travel difficulties for high profile vehicles. Areas of blowing dust are also expected through the west-central Nevada Basin and Range. Lighter northerly breezes will prevail on Thursday. RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS: There will be periods of steady rain and snow showers across the Sierra and portions of western Nevada tonight with the best potential favoring the Sierra passes through Wednesday afternoon. Higher elevation passes in the Sierra such as Mt Rose Hwy, Sonora Pass, Ebbetts Pass, Monitor Pass, Carson Pass, Donner Summit and Tioga Pass could see anywhere from 2-6" inches of snow. 1-2" of snowfall will also be possible for lower Lake Tahoe communities. Accumulations are likely to be short-lived, or possibly non- existent, during the daylight hours given the time of year. While lower elevations in western Nevada will see predominately rain for the lower elevations, snow pellets may mix in at times. Isolated thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon both days. TEMPERATURES: Much cooler than we have experienced lately with highs only reaching into the 50s or near 60 degrees even in the warmer valleys on Wednesday. Lows will drop near or below freezing, especially outside of urban centers, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Protect any sensitive early season vegetation. FIRE CONCERNS: Continue in the lower eastern Sierra (Swall Meadows & Chalfant Valley in particular) and southern Mineral County until the cold front moves through the humidity increases.
