Heavy snow headed for upper elevations Tuesday; Lake level to get little accumulation

A new storm is headed to the California coast Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday. It will bring with it valley rain and mountain snow.

According to a report by the National Weather Service in Reno, several feet of snow is possible in the Sierra above 7,000 feet with significant travel impacts possible over Sierra passes.

There is more uncertainty below 7,000 feet due to weather forecast model snow level variations, so a light accumulation down to 6,000 feet is not out of the question. All of their forecasts report little to no snow at lake level.
