3 Storms Sierra Bound; Thanksgiving Day Best For Travel

A trio of storms on their way into the Sierra could make for hazardous travel off-and-on into the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, with several inches of snow expected around Lake Tahoe and a mix of snow and mostly rain in the Reno area. The first of the storms was expected to arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. As much as 8 inches of snow is possible in the mountains above Lake Tahoe and up to 5 inches at lake level by Wednesday. Forecasters say Thanksgiving Day itself may be the best day for travel with sunny skies and mild conditions.
