After temperatures in the 70's the past couple of days we have breezy conditions and cooling temps this weekend as the high pressure breaks down.  A cold trough will drop down the West Coast Monday and Tuesday dropping temps into the 40's by Tuesday.  We could see some rain and snow showers Tuesday as the trough moves through.  

The forecast models are still showing enough liquid that the mountains could see a few inches of snow with this system.  We could see up to 6 inches along the crest above 8000 ft.

The trough moves East and we begin to warm the second half of the week but only into the 60's not the 70's.  More active weather may return around the middle of the month.  The climate models have been showing precip for May and we will take as much rain or snow as we can get to help with the drought.

The month of April the Tahoe Basin picked up 66% of average precip bringing us to 66% of average for the water year.  The temperatures at the Truckee airport averaged 1.4 degrees above average for the month.

Another update Monday on the details of snowfall potential for the mountains...BA
