Rain, snow, high winds in Reno-Tahoe forecast on Friday
A fast-moving storm system is heading to the Sierra on Friday, bringing strong winds, rain and snow to northwestern Nevada and the Lake Tahoe area. The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for Reno-Sparks, Carson City and Minden, as well as a winter storm warning for the Tahoe Basin. The system arrives on Friday afternoon, with rain and snow likely throughout the region, as well as southerly winds 20-30 mph in the valleys and 60 mph in the Sierra. Gusts are expected up to 55 mph in the valleys, with ridge gusts in the Sierra up to 95 mph. Snow levels will drop to 5,000 feet overnight, with snow accumulation of 1 to 5 inches possible in the foothills. As much as 4 to 8 inches of snow accumulation is expected above 7,000 feet. The Friday-Saturday storm system, the first of a series of storms, will leave the area over the weekend. But snow and rain return to the forecast Sunday evening. More storms are expected throughout the area through at least Thursday.
