Tahoe Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Tahoe Daily Snow

Summary:

Spring is in full affect this week with warm temps and lots of sun.  Still a lot of snow on the mountains from the storms last week to enjoy with the Spring weather this week.  Highs will be in the 50's on the mountains and 60's at lake level.  We could see a thunderstorm Friday as the remnants of low pressure move inland.  A nice weekend ahead and then we could see some cooler air and light precip to start next week.

Details:

Not much change to the forecast over the past couple of days.  Warm temperatures are around this week.  If you get away from the lake and the cold water temperatures will be near 70 degrees the next couple of days in the basin.  Quite the opposite of all the snow we saw last week.  

This pattern will last through the weekend.  On Friday the low from the splitting system off the coast this week will move into CA.  This may trigger some showers or Thunderstorms, but not expecting much precip.

Long-Range:

Next Monday into Tuesday a trough will try to drop into the Pacific NW.  The models are not agreeing on how far South the trough digs.  We should see some cooler air move in, and possibly some light precip.

The next trough looks like it may try to push into the West Coast around Thu-Fri of next week.  We will watch that.

Overall not much confidence in the long-range with the models all over the place.  I would like to say we are done with snow for the season, but there are storms on the long-range models so not confident yet that we won't see another storm or two before Easter.  I will keep you updated.

Good news is that we continued to get more precip in March continuing to make 2014 much wetter already than 2013.  For the water year we are still 3rd driest in Northern CA since October, but much better off than we were at the beginning of February.  I'll get more into the March stats this week.
