[Music] right now at 11: an urgent warning from the CHP and calr as another storm barrels toward us avoid the Sierra extremely dangerous driving conditions are expected in fact a blizzard warning is about to go into effect the Tahoe area bracing for the strongest storm of the season so far you can see it churning right there in the Pacific tonight heavy snow there which means heavy rain here let's get right to our chief meteorologist Jeffer this is really like a onew punch for two areas here it

just see some spotty shower chances but it'll begin to pick up here by 1: p.
