Snow showers expected in higher elevations south of Lake Tahoe

As low pressure moves into southern California, isolated showers are expected across the Sierra, with a heavier band of precipitation moving into the area south of Highway 50 during the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service in Reno. Snow levels will remain near 9,000 feet in Mono County and may briefly fall below 9,000 feet under heavier snow showers.
Heavy rainfall is possible today. Amounts of 0.25 to 0.50 inch are possible across eastern Alpine, Douglas and northern Mono counties. Above 9,000 feet in Alpine and Mono counties, a few inches of snow will occur and may impact travel over Ebbetts, Tioga, and Sonora passes. Those in the backcountry should be prepared for winter weather conditions. Showers will end by Friday afternoon as the low moves into Utah.
