A quick moving storm is set to blow through the region today into Monday. Expect temperatures to drop and snow to fall.

Snow levels are likely to reach the Carson and Reno areas as well. The wind is expected to pick up before the moisture arrives in Tahoe. A lake wind advisory is in effect Sunday from 10am-10pm.

“A quick burst of snow is possible along the cold front, making for a potentially slick and icy commute Monday morning,” according to the National Weather Service in Reno. “Inside slider storms like this typically have limited moisture and sporadic areas of accumulating snow.”

The sun is expected to return Tuesday. Temps will be in the teens overnight, with highs in the 30s through Tuesday. By Thursday the basin could see 50s again.

The hazy air on Saturday was mostly dust being kicked up. With it being a dry winter, winds are picking up dirt and carrying it for miles.
