California storm coverage | Snow plows clear out Sierra roads | 8 a.m. February 16, 2026

A storm is expected to bring piles of Sierra snow and soak the Northern California region on Monday. The KCRA 3 weather team issued an Alert Day for Monday because of how risky conditions could be. Travel is highly discouraged, especially at elevations above 5,000 feet. Chain controls are in effect for highways in the Sierra, which could receive several feet of snow through Wednesday, especially at higher elevations. When chain controls are in effect, all vehicles except those with four-wheel-drive and snow tires equipped are required to install chains. Speed limits are also reduced during chain controls. On Interstate 80, the speed limit becomes 30 mph, while on Highway 50, it becomes 25 mph. Rain totals will not be as ample as snow amounts, but enough rain will fall to keep the roads soaked and possibly cause minor flooding. But rivers and creeks are not expected to flood.
