A storm system will move into Northern California on Wednesday bringing heavy snow across the Sierra Nevada by the evening.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the Northern Sierra Nevada above 5,500 feet, from Wednesday evening through Thursday morning.

The heaviest snow is expected to occur overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning above 5,500 feet.

The high snow levels on Wednesday evening will drop to around 4,000 to 5,000 feet by Thursday morning.

Total snow accumulations of eight to twelve inches are possible, with localized amounts up to two feet.

If traveling in the mountains, carry chains, extra warm clothing and food, and be prepared for hazardous, difficult travel conditions and significant travel delays. Significant reductions in visibility will also be a possibility.

A Winter Storm Watch means there is potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue to monitor myMotherLode.com for the latest forecasts.
