RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS: The focus for shower activity today will be in the Sierra from I-80 south. Snow totals are likely going to be highly variable over short distances. There is potential for 4-8 inches of additional snow in the Sierra if heavier showers persist. Otherwise, scattered showers are possible elsewhere, but will be much more hit or miss. It will may be a rain/snow/pellet mix for lower elevations, with snow and snow pellets expected for higher elevations. There is also a 20% chance for thunderstorms this afternoon. ROAD IMPACTS: Some roads may be icy this morning following the snow that fell last night. Main concern is around the Tahoe Basin in the Sierra, but there are chances for portions of the Washoe and Carson Valleys and nearby foothills as well. Otherwise, any roads in the Sierra from approximately I-80 south have potential to see brief periods of snow accumulation from showers today, leading to travel difficulties. Accumulations are likely to be short-lived during the daylight hours given the time of the year. TEMPERATURES: Remaining cool today with highs only reaching into the 50s even in the warmer valleys. Lows will drop near or below freezing tonight, especially outside of urban centers. Protect any sensitive early season vegetation. $$ http://weather.gov/reno
