Next Storm Set For Sunday

Warm moist air is going to collide with very cold air from the north and create what should be a pretty decent storm. Remember, this last storm they were predicting up to 3 feet. We ended up with 6 inches in the Carson Range.

This storm has some potential to carry over the Sierra into the leeward valleys of Nevada. Here is the latest forecast for Sunday Morning.

This storm has a ton of moisture to work with. Snow levels are going to be tricky however. Very cold Northern air and very warm and moist Southern air. Our best guess is for snow levels to start around 8,000 feet on early Sunday morning. That will drop to lake level throughout the day.

For the northern Sierra and Carson Ranges, the most reliable weather model has this storm cleared out by Monday morning. Mt. Rose should pick up 2-3 feet of snow. As we get on the backside of this storm, snow levels will drop to the valley floors so Monday morning traffic could be a nightmare.

That is our best guess, but when you have two converging, strong air masses, things can change quite rapidly.

Here is the Precip forecast for this next storm. Again, we think 2-3 feet for the Carson range, at least. But that number could jump if this storm slows down.
