The flag over Minden Park flies in the breeze on Friday morning.
Leaves and tumbleweeds raced through Carson Valley streets as the first real storm of Fall 2020 arrived in Western Nevada.
Minden-Tahoe Airport has recorded four wind gusts over 30 mph since 7:30 a.m. Friday, with the fastest being 36 mph at 8:55 a.m.
Visibility at the airport dropped to 1.5 miles at 6:35 a.m. due to dust blowing into the Valley.
East Fork firefighters responded to a report that a tree fell into utility lines at around 9:30 a.m. on Lyell Way.
Temperatures rose to the low 60s this morning as warm air was pushed south by a cold front that could bring snow to Carson Valley on Sunday.
National Weather Service forecasters are predicting a chance of showers after 4 p.m. today with the snow level lowering from 8,300 feet to 4,900 feet.
Rain showers could change to light snow after 8 p.m. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch is possible.
There’s a chance precipitation in the form of snow showers could fall on Saturday, with a winter weather advisory going into effect for Western Nevada at 10 p.m.
Forecasters say snow is expected with accumulations of 1-4 inches early Sunday morning and a chance of local amounts of up to 7 inches.
“Even light snowfall causes major travel delays, especially during periods of high-traffic volume,” forecasters advised. “Be sure to allow extra time to reach your destination. Leave extra space between vehicles since it takes longer to stop on slick roadways.”
A wind advisory is in effect at Lake Tahoe through 4 p.m. today with waves 2-4 feet from the middle of the Lake to the northern and eastern shores.
