Another day and another wave of snowfall in Lake Tahoe and Western Nevada

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Many are asking, when will this end? After a week of heavy snow, the National Weather Service has extended the Winter Snow Warning for Lake Tahoe until 7:00 p.m. Sunday night. There is also a Winter Weather Advisory for Sierra Front valleys including Reno/Sparks, Carson City, and Carson Valley through this evening.

Another day and another wave of snowfall is expected today across the Sierra and western Nevada according to the National Weather Service in Reno. Snow showers will pick up in coverage/intensity this morning and persist into the afternoon. Periods of moderate to heavy snowfall continue in the Sierra today with scattered snow showers expected across western Nevada. Travel will be difficult in the Sierra where long delays are likely to continue.

Travel through the Sierra has not been good much of this week and don`t expect today to be much better either. It will continue to be sketchy as the showery nature of snow can lead to one minute being clear, to the next having a quick burst of moderate to heavy snow in a passing snow shower or band.

Monday through Wednesday, the snow goes away and sun settles in or a couple of days before an increase for a chance of snow comes Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Single digit lows are widespread for the area.
