Drier Pattern Sets Up...

Summary

We could see a few scattered snow showers Monday. Overall it looks like a drier pattern is setting up through the extended period.

Update

We saw chain controls over Donner Summit Sunday night from the snow that moved through. The roads melted off quickly this morning. We could see a few snow showers Monday but only expecting wet roads if we do.

Drier Pattern:

Expecting drier weather by Tuesday through the end of next week. We will watch for any storms that could affect travel in May. I won't be posting again until we have a storm that could affect travel through the Sierra.

This will be the last post of the season... See you next fall!
