We're tracking the development of bands of high intensity snowfall later this afternoon into the evening. Here's what the latest simulations are showing for timing of the 1"/hr or higher bands of snow. Keep an eye out in Fallon-Yerington-Hawthorne, where chances are highest.

[UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab @UCB_CSSL]

With 7.7" (19.5 cm) of #snow over the last day, '22/'23 has passed '82/'83 as the 2nd snowiest season (Oct 1 - Sept 30) since the CSSL was built in 1946! We now have a season total of 677" (56.4 feet, 17.2 m).

Still far from #1 but we'll get closer over the next week.

9:00am... Conditions look terrible across I-80 as a heavy snow shower persists from Soda Springs to Truckee. Hold off on traveling if at all possible until conditions improve. #cawx

[NWS Reno @NWSReno]

Wondering about those clouds? Inversions and melting snow adding moisture to lower elevations are causing low stratus and in some places freezing fog. Above the inversion, the sun is shining! For cams: @ALERTWildfire (https://t.co/dGOjunoBQ9).

How do you top Thursday's heat? Reno Airport did just that today, briefly touching 104 degrees shortly before 4 PM. (For the metric fans, that's 40 degrees Celsius!). This sets a new record high for July 29, surpassing the old record of 103 which occurred in 1943 & 2016.
