Part 4/6:
If you’re planning to travel across the Sierra passes, it’s shaping up to be a good day with no expected weather disruptions. Temperatures in Truckee and Tahoe will peak in the low 50s. Although travelers can enjoy dry conditions today, they should be aware that changes are approaching quickly this weekend.
Upcoming Weather Changes
Come Saturday, light showers are expected to regularly sweep through the area, bringing rain to the lower elevations and snow primarily at elevations above 6,500 feet. While rain may present some minor interruptions for weekend travel, it should not significantly hamper conditions. Travelers crossing the Sierra passes this weekend should anticipate only minor impacts from slushy snow.
