A winter storm warning continues until 4 a.m. on Friday with heavy snow in the mountains Wednesday night through Friday morning.

Plan on chain controls and delays.

Another storm by Saturday night into Sunday morning with snow showers on the valley floor and slick roads likely.

Plan on and off again chain controls in the mountains through the weekend and even next week as our stormy weather pattern continues.

Caltrans says heavy snow in the Sierra is expected down to 4,500 feet elevation and accumulating 2-4 feet at pass levels. Chain controls should be expected on Interstate 80, U.S. Highway 50 and secondary highways in the mountains.
