Officials say travel through Sacramento and the Sierra could be difficult as a cold front dumps rain and snow through the region Friday.
The National Weather Service says whiteout conditions at mountain passes are possible. Meanwhile, significant travel delays may occur due to traffic accidents caused by slick roadways. There will also be periods where gusty winds could bring down branches and trees and cause local power outages.
Snow is expected initially at 4,500 to 6,000 feet, but will lower to 2,500 to 3,500 feet. Heavy snow with 1 to 2 feet are expected and light snow of 1 to 3 inches is possible in the foothills from Friday through Saturday.
Light to moderate precipation is expected throughout the Valley.
