Strong winds will continue through much of the day Thursday… with High Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories for most of our viewing area through 11 am.
The strongest winds will likely occur during the overnight hours, with peak winds gusts between 50 and 60 mph.
A Winter Weather Advisory also remains up for the Sierra and Lake Tahoe through 8 am. Roads may be slick and snow covered just before sunrise over our higher mountain passes.
Snow will quickly taper off to a few showers during the late morning and early afternoon.
While winds will remain gusty through the evening… the strongest winds should subside around sunset Thursday night.
High pressure builds in for the weekend with more sunshine and warming temperatures. Seasonable with the low-60s ahead for Friday… then temperatures surging back into the mid-70s by Easter Sunday.
