Winter storm spreads rain across western Nevada and snow in the Sierra
A colder storm is moving through western Nevada on Monday, bringing rain to the valleys and new snow to the Sierra. … Tahoe elevations could see 3 to 6 inches, with lighter amounts at lake level. … Another Pacific system is expected to reach the region by early Thursday, bringing the next round of rain and Sierra snow. A powerful atmospheric river moving down the California coast has produced heavy rain, thunderstorms and high-elevation snow, and state officials say at least six people have died in storm-related incidents over the past several days. The system is raising concerns for flooding and debris flows in areas burned by recent wildfires. Several rounds of moisture are expected to move through California into midweek, sending additional rain and snow into parts of the state.
