A winter storm warning is in effect for parts of northern and central California as snowy conditions continue to hit the state, potentially bringing over a foot of additional snow to a region that already saw accumulation this weekend.
The National Weather Service sent out the warning for some elevated mountain areas, including West Slope Northern Sierra Nevada and Western Plumas County/Lassen Park above 4500 feet, and the cities of Chester, Blue Canyon and Quincy.
The alert warns of additional snow accumulations of 12 to 18 inches above 4500 feet, with up to 2 feet at the highest peaks, as well as minor snowfall accumulations of 2 to 4 inches down to 4000 feet. Winds could also gust as high as 45 mph, NWS said.
The warning is set to last through 11 p.m. local time on April 12, with mountain travel highly discouraged as conditions remain slick on the roads, the Sacramento NWS office said.
