...SNOW AND PELLET SHOWERS RETURN THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH BANDS
OF SNOW POSSIBLE IN WESTERN NEVADA TONIGHT...
* Snow and pellet showers will continue through the evening. There
may be brief minor accumulations in lower elevations and a few
inches of additional snowfall possible in the Sierra, along with
a 15% chance for a rumble of thunder. While it will be harder
to see long-lasting roadway accumulation during the day given
the late March sun angle, periodic travel difficulties in the
Sierra should be expected.
* For tonight, some high resolution simulations continue to
indicate bands of snowfall setting up in parts of western
Nevada, with the potential locations varying from Reno and
Fernley southward across Douglas, Lyon and western Mineral
counties. If these snow bands form and persist, they would
produce isolated snow amounts from a dusting up to a few inches
tonight, with slick and icy conditions continuing into the
Thursday morning commute.
* Be sure to check with NDOT (NV Roads/511) and CalTrans
(Quickmap) for the latest on road conditions.
