The hits just keep coming! Another strong wave will impact our region today, bringing a myriad of impacts; snow down to the valley floors, avalanche threats, road closures, rivers on the rise and continued windy conditions. Additionally, heavy snow in the higher elevations of the Sierra & White Mountains (measured in feet), whiteout threat, and possible heavy rain in parts of the Owens Valley. If that weren’t enough, an additional weaker wave will kick through the area Wednesday. After that a weak surface high builds in, so expect calmer weather Thursday and Friday…DMATTT
