A powerful winter storm is set to hit northern Nevada starting Wednesday morning, with a Winter Storm Watch in effect for the Ruby Mountains, East Humboldt Range, and Northern Elko County. The storm is expected to bring heavy snowfall of 15 to 30 inches in higher elevations, along with strong winds gusting up to 50 mph on ridgetops. Lower elevations may see 5 to 8 inches of snow, with potentially higher amounts over summits and passes.
Travel conditions are expected to be hazardous, especially during the Thursday morning commute, with reduced visibility and potential road closures. Gusty winds may also cause power outages by bringing down tree branches. Residents and travelers are advised to stay informed about the weather and take precautions, such as delaying travel if possible or using extreme caution if travel is necessary.
This winter storm is predicted to impact the northern Nevada region through late Thursday night, affecting areas such as Jarbidge, Tuscarora, and Mountain City.
