TRUCKEE, Calif. — High elevations of the Sierra Nevada are sporting new dustings of snow as a late-spring weather system moves through the drought-stricken region.
The National Weather Service says the cold and slow-moving system is expected to continue to bring intermittent light to moderate snow to the Sierra and western Nevada into the weekend.
ABC10 Chief Meteorologist Monica Wood says the low-pressure system will continue to move south through the weekend with active weather through Saturday and possibly a few lingering showers Sunday. Saturday looks like it could be the most active day for thunderstorms in the Sierra, with a chance of lightning, hail and gusty winds.
