Now, if you had plans and getting up there, i dont care if you had Motel Reservations all that stuff. A lot of us have been caught in this situation before. It is just not safe to be heading up there today. So really highly strongly advising against what weve got at the Golden Gate Bridge this morning here locally is some shower activity generally on the lighter side of things for the bay area. As of right now, as you can see, its fairly quiet on radar for most of us. We are seeing showers on san jose down to gilroy on 101. We do have some heavier rainfall to the north of the bay area.

Having to cancel, unfortunately, their travel plans on up into the Sierra Nevada all the way through sunday. We are looking at avoiding mounting travel at all costs, 0 visibility because of those strong winds. If you do plan on getting up to the sierra getting stuck, honestly because above 5,000 feet in elevation it 6 upwards of 12 feet of snowfall. Donner summit echo summit.
