Springing into April, the region is experiencing another winter storm, with strong winds already passing through this morning. Snow is expected in the Sierra, with brief periods of heavy snowfall.
While winds are calming down for now, they’ll pick up again this afternoon, though not as strong as yesterday. Susanville CHP and Caltrans have downgraded the wind warning to an advisory along Highway 395, allowing high-profile vehicles to travel temporarily.
Meteorologists from the Reno National Weather Service suggest that despite this storm lasting through the weekend, it’s not expected to be significant. However, if you’re traveling for the holiday weekend from Friday to Sunday, be prepared for possible road problems, and consider carrying chains if heading to the mountains.
