The next low pressure system will move into California tomorrow, bringing showers and high elevation snow to the Sierra and western Nevada through Monday according to the National Weather Service in Reno.

Up to 6 inches of snow may accumulate above 8,000 feet, with wet roads for those traveling over I-80 and US-50. Snow could impact travel over the Mt Rose Highway and the higher passes in Alpine and Mono Counties.

More rain is on tap for the valleys with total rainfall amounts up to 0.50 inch. Could be enough rain to cut back on watering your lawn this week.
