The Week Ahead:

It looks like a fairly dry week through Thursday outside of a coating to an inch of snow possible Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. Watch for slippery roads and possible brief chain controls into Wednesday morning if we see a burst of snow that covers the roads.

Thursday night through Friday night we could see some rain all the way over Donner Pass. Roads should stay wet through Friday.

Saturday:

Saturday the rain could transition to snow through the day. That could bring rougher travel and chain controls along I-80 through the Sierra on Saturday.

We will continue to fine-tune the forecast all week.

Long-Range:

We could see drier weather the 15th - 17th, and then a more active pattern could return around the 18th - 19th. Stay tuned...
