Tahoe Daily Snow
By Bryan Allegretto, Forecaster Posted 5 years ago March 20, 2019
Unsettled Weather Continues Into the Weekend...
Summary
- Scattered showers continue into Thursday. Snow levels around 6,500 feet Wednesday, falling to around 5,000 feet Wednesday night, and back up to 6,500 feet Thursday. We could see an additional 1-4 inches of snow on the mountains above 7,000 feet with rain & snow at lake level. Highs in the 30's on the mountains to near 40 at lake level. - We should see a break on Friday morning with some sun & clouds and highs in the 30's on the mountains to 40's at lake level. Clouds increase in the afternoon with the next storm possibly arriving by 4 PM. - The next storm moves through quickly Friday night, with snow showers possible Saturday. Snow levels should quickly fall to lake level as the storm moves in, and to 5,000 feet by Saturday morning. This system could drop a quick 1-5+ inches of snow across the Tahoe basin. Highs remain in the 30's on the mountains into Saturday. - We should see another break Sunday with some sun and cool temperatures. The forecast models are struggling with the timing of precipitation pushing in from the next storm as it very slowly approaches the CA coast. Some model runs push in some rain & snow Monday, while others hold off on precip until Wednesday lasting into Thursday. Despite the timing, the slow-moving nature of the storm could drop a decent amount of snow on the mountains. - We could see a break going into the week of the 30th, but the storms could return through the 1st week of April.
