Gusty winds, rain and mountain snow are expected Thursday before the major storm arrives this weekend. Rain is possible up and down the coast, but in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, another 5 feet of snow is possible. The FOX Forecast Center warned that travel through the mountain passes will be treacherous.
