Reno, NV – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Mono County until 4 a.m. Monday, with snow and gusty winds creating hazardous conditions for travelers.
The National Weather Service (NWS) reports additional snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches, particularly in areas like Mammoth Lakes, Bridgeport, and Lee Vining. Winds could gust up to 50 mph along the Sierra crest and the White Mountain highest peaks, potentially knocking down tree branches and impacting visibility.
Drivers should plan for slippery road conditions, black ice, and possible delays, especially on mountain passes. The advisory will continue to affect travel through Monday morning, with lingering icy spots expected even after snow diminishes.
Travelers are encouraged to slow down, allow extra time, and check local road conditions by calling 511. Carrying chains and emergency supplies is recommended for those navigating higher elevations.
This system is part of a series of storms impacting the Sierra Nevada region, with Mono County winter travel challenges continuing into the week. Roads near Mammoth Lakes and Bridgeport may remain icy overnight, so drivers are urged to exercise caution.
