After a mild start to the week, a series of weak to moderate storms will begin to impact the Carson City and Sierra region mid-week through President’s Day weekend and possibly into the middle of next week, according to the National Weather Service.
There is potential for strong winds across the Sierra Front Range and along the Highway 395 and Interstate 580 corridor late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Additional rain and snow will create periods of difficult travel conditions in the Sierra. Current projections don’t indicate any strong storms, however, with very wet antecedent conditions in lower elevations and exceptionally deep snowpack at higher elevations, even small amounts of precipitation could create renewed flooding concerns, according to a Special Weather Statement.
