A series of storms will bring multiple rounds of rain & snow to the Sierra, with mainly rain for W NV valleys. The best chance for snowfall across W NV valleys may not happen until Sat, but confidence is low. Expect significant travel impacts in the Sierra by Wed night & Thurs. pic.twitter.com/fuOEi9j6iM
