First Alert Friday: Major Storm System on the Way

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - The storm system we have been talking about for over a week is now knocking on the door. Conditions remain quiet this Thursday afternoon with warm temps and plenty of sunshine. However, all of that changes on Friday. A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for the Sierra from 10am on Friday until 10am on Saturday. Wind Advisories have also been issued for the majority of Nevada and the Sierra from 10am to 10pm on Friday. A strong low will enter from the northwest with precipitation reaching the Sierra by the late morning hours. Precipitation will spill over onto the Sierra front by the early afternoon before entering the Great Basin by the later afternoon/evening hours. Temperatures will stagnate and eventually drop after the front works through. Snow is anticipated above 6,000 feet in the Sierra. Snow totals between 6,000 and 7,000 feet are expected between 2-6 inches with 6-12 inches for most above 7,000 feet. However, high elevations and the crest west of Lake Tahoe can expect upwards of a foot, towards 20 inches of snow. A trace to 2 inches of snow can’t be ruled out down to about 5,000-5,500 feet Friday night into early Saturday. The moisture content within the snow is expected to be very high, meaning the classic Sierra cement snow is what we are expecting. Avoid travel in the Sierra from Friday midday until Saturday midday. Rain is anticipated for most of the Sierra front and Great Basin with totals under a half of an inch for most. Winds will be a primary concern with this system as south to southwest winds will range from 20-40 mph with gusts reaching up to 55 mph. Wind prone locations and mountain passes could receive wind gusts up to 75 mph. Power outages are possible due to the strong winds and Sierra cement snow. Lots of dust is also expected to be kicked up in the Great Basin before rain falls. Conditions will quiet down over the weekend with highs in the 40s and 50s. Another wave of precipitation is expected to enter Sunday night into Monday, with precipitation lingering in Eastern zones into Tuesday. A third and what looks to be the final wave of precipitation for now will pass overhead on Wednesday and Thursday. - Patrick.
