The National Weather Service in Reno says that an active winter weather pattern will be returning to the Lake Tahoe region next week as several winter systems are poised to impact the Sierra and western Nevada every one to two days beginning Monday and possibly lasting into next weekend.

While none of these storms appear overly strong individually, each will bring travel impacts with the potential for up to 2 feet of snow in the high Sierra over the course of the week. Light snow showers on Monday may result in travel slow downs and slick roads but more widespread travel impacts are expected beginning Tuesday.
