The majority of this precipitation will remain along and north of Interstate 80.
West-southwest wind gusts 35 to 45+ mph are expected across portions of Northern Nevada from 6 AM PST Wednesday morning until 4 PM PST Wednesday afternoon. Patchy blowing dust may reduce visibility at times. Travel will be difficult, particularly for high profile vehicles.
