Impact & Risks

Travel conditions are hazardous in mountain passes due to snow accumulation and slick roads. Drivers should exercise caution, especially along Highway 2 and other high-elevation routes. Lower valleys may experience minor disruptions from rain and wet snow. Halloween events could face interruptions from light showers, and widespread precipitation on Sunday may impact outdoor plans. The colder-than-average temperatures could pose risks for those unprepared for the chill.
