From the National Weather Service office in Sacramento:
A PAIR OF COLD STORMS FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL BRING HAZARDOUS
TRAVEL AT TIMES OVER MOUNTAIN PASSES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE
BRUNT OF THE FIRST STORM OCCURS DURING THE DAY FRIDAY WITH SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ABOVE 2500 FEET. GUSTY WINDS OVER THE HIGHER SIERRA
MAY BRING SNOW AMOUNTS OF UP TO 10 INCHES...POOR VISIBILITY AND
COLD WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES. THE NEXT STORM ARRIVING SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY SHOULD HAVE LESS PRECIPITATION.
AFTER A LULL EARLY NEXT WEEK...A LARGER AND STRONGER STORM SYSTEM
APPROACHES BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT MOUNTAIN SNOW
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. WHILE UNCERTAINTY REMAINS WITH THE
DETAILS OF THIS STORM...THE CURRENT TIMING WOULD BRING HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION DURING THE PEAK OF HOLIDAY TRAVEL. THIS SYSTEM
SHOULD NOT BE AS COLD AS THE FIRST 2 STORMS...BUT WOULD HAVE A
MORE SIGNIFICANT SUPPLY OF MOISTURE. THIS COULD BRING HEAVY SNOW
OVER THE MOUNTAIN PASSES AND RESULTING TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES.
PLEASE MONITOR THE LATEST WEATHER FORECASTS FOR THOSE PLANNING
TRAVEL OVER MOUNTAIN PASSES LATE THIS WEEK AND THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
