Accumulations of 10-14 inches are expected from the Cascades into the Northern Rockies. In the lower elevations, snow accumulations will range 4-8 inches. A wintry mix is also forecast in the valleys. Precipitation will begin to taper off early Wednesday.

Snow for the Sierra Nevadas on Monday
Deep moisture associated with an upper level low off the West Coast will allow for moderate snowfall across the Sierra Nevadas today. Snowfall totals will range 5-8 inches in the mountains with higher totals in the mountain ridges. Below 7,000 feet, snow accumulations will range 2-5 inches. Freezing rain may develop in the valleys where temperatures are warmer. In the higher elevations, winds could gust in excess of 30 mph, creating the potential for blowing snow.
