Round two of the winter weather moves through the region on Tuesday, bringing more snow, wind, and rain.
An area of low pressure will move through northern California and Nevada throughout the day, keeping us unsettled and cold. It will take a while before temperatures reach normal again. There won’t be as much moisture to work with this time, but there will be plenty of forcing thanks to the low moving in.
The snow level will stay below 6000’ today, allowing for only snow to fall at lake level. Both rain and snow will fall in the Truckee Meadows, melting as it hits the ground below 5000’ and before dark.
The snow will be pretty steady in the Sierra but more scattered in the valley. Snow will fall in the Sierra Tuesday morning because of orographic lift and westerly flow in advance of the low; the snow that falls later will be because of the low moving overtop of us…
