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...
