Pack chains if you plan on traveling this weekend in the Sierra. Snow is likely and a Winter Storm Watch is up for the Tahoe Basin as a result.
The snow will be slushy and will accumulate on grassy areas more than the road, however, it will stick to the pavement at times.
Roads will be worse at night as temperatures fall and the snow is able to accumulate at a much quicker rate. Visibility will be poor throughout the storm due to blowing snow.
Snow totals will range from six to ten inches at lake level, to over a foot in the High Sierra.
Even the valley could see some light snow early Sunday morning…
