Summary

Snow moves in tonight with heavy precip and rising snow levels in Monday night before tapering off Tuesday morning to showers. Snow levels start near lake level this evening and then rise overnight to between 7000-7500 feet by Monday morning, and may sit there into Monday evening. Then fall below lake level later Monday night. Winds through Tuesday are strong with mountain top gusts over 100 mph. With the varying snow levels the lake level and 7000 ft. snow forecasts are tricky. We could see 1-2 inches this evening at lake level before the rain, and then 5-11 inches at the end as the rain turns back to snow Monday night. Above 7000 feet it may stay snow or switch back and forth so heavy wet snow. We could see 2-4 feet between 7000-8000 feet, and 3-5 feet above 8000 feet through Tuesday morning. Lots of cold air moves in behind the storm. A weaker and colder storm moves through Tuesday night into Wednesday and could bring an additional 1-6 inches at lake level, and 1-8 inches on the mountains. A break Thursday, and then Friday into Saturday a cold low moving down from the North could bring several more inches of snow if it tracks close enough. Another similar type cold low from the North could bring light snowfall again on Monday the 28th.
