While this is far from a done deal, simulations have been trending wetter and windier. Anyone with travel plans, especially over the mountains, should keep a close eye on the forecast and make sure your vehicle is still winter-ready. * Widespread strong gusty winds are forecast Saturday into Sunday. These winds would bring road and aviation travel impacts across the Sierra and Western Nevada, along with localized fire weather concerns in lower elevation dry vegetation. * There is potential for significant, but not drought busting, moisture with these storms. Sierra passes could experience periods of heavy, wet snows Saturday night into Sunday and Monday with possible travel impacts and chain controls especially at night. Mountain communities such as Tahoe, Truckee, and Bridgeport look to vary between rain and snow, with Western Nevada cities seeing on and off rain showers Sunday into Monday. * Otherwise, for most of this week the weather will be mainly quiet and seasonable. Some scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible, however, Tuesday into Wednesday. Most areas will remain dry, however those that do see showers could pick up a quick 0.1 to 0.2 inches of rain. If you`re outdoors in the afternoons, remain alert for lightning and seek shelter indoors if a storm approaches. $$ http://weather.gov/reno
