A new storm system will roll into Western Nevada this evening. Rain and snow will fall this afternoon in the Valley, which could turn into snow in Reno and Carson City producing icy roads.

A stronger system is expected to arrive Wednesday, with heavy snow in the mountains and some accumulations of snow in the Valley.

According to the Weather Service, the last in a series of Pacific storms will arrive in Western Nevada on Thursday. The heaviest snow from this system will fall south of the Tahoe basin into Mono County.
