A weak cold front was set to roll through Northern California on Saturday, but its just the trailblazer for a more potent system that will bury the Sierra with up to 4 feet of snow by next week.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the Tahoe region beginning Sunday afternoon through late Tuesday night.
"The weak initial system will be blazing a trail for a much stronger low to drop in from the Gulf of Alaska to near the Pacific Northwest coast late Sunday into Monday, then digging into Northern California and eventually pushing inland across California-Nevada for the Tuesday-Wednesday time frame," weather service forecasters in Reno predicted."This looks to be a classic winter storm setup with near 100% probability of heavy Sierra snowfall.
