Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest I-80 California Daily Snow

By Bryan Allegretto, Forecaster Posted 4 years ago April 6, 2020

Snow Showers Possible Monday - Tuesday...

Update

Chain controls early Monday morning are in effect from Drum to the NV state line.

Monday - Tuesday Snow Showers:

Snow showers lingering Monday into Tuesday. The roads will melt Monday morning with the high sun angle, with just wet roads possibly during the day. But a band of heavier showers may move over the area Monday afternoon with snow showers into Tuesday morning, so the roads could become snow-covered during that period with additional chain controls.

Long-Range:

We may see a drier pattern starting Wednesday through the weekend and into early the week of the 13th...
