A road-impact forecast for I-80 over Donner Summit: live radar, a 48-hour forecast along the route, summit cameras and chain controls, with a call on when the next dry window opens.

Storm Gap: the Donner Summit road call over a radar map of I-80

Storm Gap answers one question for anyone heading to Tahoe: when can you get over Donner Summit? It combines live radar, an hourly precipitation forecast along I-80 from Auburn to Floriston, summit cameras and current chain controls into a single road call for the next 48 hours.

What does it show?

  • A road call for the summit stretch, hour by hour: wet, chains possible, chains likely or closure risk.
  • Where rain turns to snow, against the road’s elevation.
  • Live radar now, and the HRRR forecast ahead.
  • Live Caltrans summit cameras and the chain controls in effect.

How reliable is it?

Timing confidence comes from a backtest on four winters, 2022 to 2026, about 150 storm days, scored against radar-measured precipitation. The chain-control thresholds are estimates until this winter’s Caltrans log lets them be scored too. Storm Gap forecasts weather and likely road impact, not official road status; Caltrans and CHP set the chain controls.

What’s next?

US-50 over Echo Summit, SR-88 over Carson Pass and US-395 are coming.
