Reno, NV – Hurricane-force winds up to 120 mph are battering the Sierra Nevada as a strong winter storm continues to bring heavy snow and hazardous conditions. The gusts, combined with snowfall, are creating dangerous scenarios across the region, particularly at higher elevations.

According to the National Weather Service, ridge-line winds of 100 to 120 mph are expected through Saturday night, with lower elevations experiencing gusts up to 50 mph. These winds are strong enough to topple trees and power lines, increasing the risk of outages. Wave heights on Lake Tahoe could reach up to five feet, making conditions perilous for boaters.

The storm is also bringing heavy snow, with accumulations of 3 to 8 inches below 6,500 feet and up to 3 feet along the highest peaks. The powerful winds are likely to cause whiteout conditions, making travel extremely hazardous or impossible.

Officials urge residents to secure loose outdoor objects and avoid unnecessary travel. Travelers should prepare for emergency scenarios by carrying extra supplies, including flashlights and food.

Stay updated with weather alerts and share how you’re preparing for the storm online.
