A looming storm is forecast to drop more than 2 feet of snow in parts of the Sierra Nevada, prompting the National Weather Service to issue winter storm warnings. It’s the second round of winter storm warnings this month in the Sierra, a rarity for April. … The heaviest snow is expected Tuesday afternoon and evening above 5,000 feet in the northern Sierra and above 7,000 feet in the southern Sierra. … April storms are propping up a scarce Sierra snowpack. California’s snowpack was just 18% of normal as of Monday morning following the state’s warmest and driest March on record.
