A new storm watch follows Friday night through the weekend, with as much as 3 feet of snow possible at the highest elevations by Sunday.
Steve Paulson says the rain has dried up and today will be cold and clear. Rain should return on Saturday.The first of back-to-back winter storms brought one foot of snow and an avalanche warning to the Sierra Nevada on Thursday, closing schools at Lake Tahoe and intermittently shutting down interstate traffic west of Reno.
"Our next storm is still on track to be colder, slower and wetter than today’s storm," service forecasters in Reno said late Thursday. Mount Rose Ski Tahoe reported about a foot of snow at the top of the resort southwest of Reno and at least 8 inches was reported 80 miles north of Reno at Susanville, California, where 6 inches fell in just over two hours.
"Feet of new snow and strong winds will overload an already weak snowpack and result in very dangerous avalanche conditions in the mountains," the center said.
