I-80 California Daily Snow

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

By Bryan Allegretto, Forecaster Posted 3 years ago April 7, 2020

Tue - Thu Showers...

Update

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

Tuesday-Thursday Showers:

Scattered showers will be around through Thursday. Just wet roads during the day. Not expecting much in the way of showers as far north as I-80 and we have rising snow levels above 7k Wednesday, so not expecting any travel issues. But we could see a stray shower at night that could cause slippery roads over Donner Pass.

Long-Range:

We may see a drier pattern starting Friday through the weekend and into next week...
