* After a mild start to March, a transition to a more active weather pattern will begin this weekend and likely continue for much of next week. Anyone with travel plans during this timeframe should keep close tabs on the forecast in the days to come. * A fast-moving Pacific storm will bring snow to the Sierra late tonight into Saturday morning. The focus of this storm will mainly be in the Sierra from Alpine County northward, with a brief period of intense 1-2 inch per hour snowfall rates possible from 2 am to 6 am. Total snow accumulations will likely be low by Sierra standards with 4-6 inches possible above 7000 ft along the west side of Lake Tahoe and 2-4 inches possible at lake level along CA-89. Localized accumulations up to 8 inches will be possible along the higher peaks of the northern Sierra crest. Hazardous travel over the Sierra passes, including Donner, Echo, and Carson passes, along with areas west of Susanville is anticipated for early Saturday morning. Snow will likely end just after sunrise. * Only light rain or snow showers are expected for foothill and lower valleys across western Nevada Saturday morning with not much, if any accumulation likely. Gusty south-southwest winds 20-35 mph are expected for most areas, with some higher gusts (45-50 mph) expected in typical wind-prone areas. The Sierra crest could see gusts as high as 75-100 mph. A brief period of strong 50+ mph wind gusts is also possible along the US-395 corridor from Reno south ahead of the cold front into early Saturday morning. * After a relatively quiet day on Sunday, an active pattern will resume on Monday with periods of snow and gusty winds through Wednesday and possibly Thursday. While we are not anticipating any strong storms, these storms will be on the colder side, which could bring snow to valley floors. However, there is a high boom or bust potential with the latest model snowfall projections showing variable solutions with anywhere between several inches to up to 2 feet possible for the Sierra crest. In any case, travel disruptions should be expected across the Sierra and possibly at times into Western Nevada Monday through Wednesday.
