Several feet of snow is expected during the early spring system, which could bring 2025 snowpack levels to “near-normal,” according to Gigi Giralte, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Reno, Nevada office. High winds could create whiteout conditions during the storm’s peak times, making travel in the mountains difficult, Giralte said.

Northern Nevada's warm weather earlier this week turned wet and cold Wednesday and will continue into the end of the work week.
