This week is an important winter storm for affecting Northern California, which is expected to have six centimeters of snow in the mountainous areas by Thursday morning. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a snow warning for areas such as Sierra Nevada, and the inhabitants are advised to prepare them to challenge the travel situation as they move in snow and cold temperatures.
From Wednesday night, a strong weather system will begin to bring heavy snow to the area, especially at high altitudes. Areas are expected to have significant snowfall in areas such as donor passes, Lake Taho, and Shasta-Trinity regions, which contain three to six centimeters of snow accumulation on Thursday morning. This snowmobile can potentially grow in local areas, especially in the highest peaks.
The combination of ice and cold temperatures will create a dangerous position on roads, especially for drivers trying to navigate the mountain pass. Other large routes that lead through Interstate 80, Highway 50 and the Sierra Nevada will be seen by snow-covered surfaces, reduction in visibility, and ice. The California Transport Department (Caltrans) has given a warning of requirements for serial control and the closure of roads at a certain high height.
The storm is important as it coincides with evening and morning movements, which increases the risk of accidents and delays. Motor drivers are recommended to check the road conditions before they go out and be prepared for a possible dangerous journey. If you are traveling, make sure your vehicle is equipped with emergency supply including food, water, blankets and flashlight.
While the blizzard will mainly affect the mountains, the valley areas in Northern California can also experience cold temperatures and light snow showers. However, snow is expected to be minimized in these areas, where no low height is expected to be expected as Sacramento or Bay areas.
Together with ice, wind with storms, it is expected to create a position of snow and white in the mountains. This combination of ice and air can make the journey even more dangerous, with a significant cut in visibility. Those planning to increase or engagein external activities in the mountains should also be prepared for temperature and winter conditions.
The storm is expected to be cleaned by Thursday afternoon, but the temperature will be cool, especially at high altitudes. Snoplo and Road Crew will work to clean highways, but passengers should be careful all day. The cold front will be formed, so residents of the affected areas are encouraged to pack and limit their outdoor exposure.
With the expectation of a blizzard by Thursday night, the possibility of Northern California will be seen in the quiet season this weekend. However, instant anxiety is ice and potential disruption that can cause travel and daily activities. Stay up to date on local forecast and weather advice for the latest information.
