Earliest Snow Advisory in 20 Years Issued for California's Sierra Nevada

A cold front from the Gulf of Alaska is expected to bring snow and rain to high elevations, impacting travel and temperatures.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for areas above 8,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada, effective from Sunday night to Monday.
Up to 4 inches of snow could fall in regions such as Tuolumne Meadows and Tioga Pass, with a 45% chance of 3 inches or more at lower elevations like Grant Grove.
Travelers through Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Nevada should prepare for potential road closures and slick conditions.
The storm system will also bring much cooler temperatures, with highs remaining below freezing in some areas by Tuesday morning.
The low-pressure system is set to move eastward, bringing rain to parts of Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, and northern California, with isolated amounts up to 4 inches.
