Expect south to southwest winds of 15 to 30mph, with gusts up to 40 mph today. Sierra ridge gusts may reach 100 mph this evening.

Snow covered roads and visibility below one half mile at times will cause difficult travel conditions this afternoon through Monday morning.

Snow is expected to pose an inconvenience to travelers. Roads will become slick and hazardous, with snow and ice first developing on bridges and overpasses. Motorists should slow down and use caution.
