CALIFORNIA, USA — Northern California isn't done with winter weather just yet...
Interstate 80 is now open after a major crash that injured at least five and sent four people to the hospital, according to Cal Fire. It is unclear how many people total were injured and the extent of those injuries.
Gusty winds develop overnight with a Wind Advisory in effect until 4 p.m. Friday. Wind gusts of 40-50mph will make travel difficult and possibly result in some local power outages. Periods of moderate rain continue into early Saturday then the valley starts to clear through the day but cold temps stick around.
The Sierra Avalanche Center issued a Backcountry Avalanche Warning for the Central Sierra Nevada Mountains from Ebbetts Pass north to Yuba Pass which includes including the greater Lake Tahoe area. It's in effect through Saturday morning.
Dangerous travel and avalanche conditions will continue for much of the weekend. Snow tapers a little later in the day Saturday in the Sierra with a small window for better travel by Saturday afternoon through early Sunday.
Two more systems will keep rain and snow in the forecast.
The next round of active weather arrives Sunday afternoon through early Monday.
