Snow for the Mountains Friday, All Elevations Friday Night - Saturday Night...
Summary
- Friday into Friday night we will see heavier precipitation push in. Snow levels dropping to around 6500-7000 ft. during the day on Friday into the evening. Then dropping to lake level Friday night. By Saturday morning we could see a coating up to an inch or two for lake level, and 5-14 inches above 7000 ft. on the mountains. Winds on Friday gusting to 50+ mph on the mountains, and highs in the 30s. - Saturday we should see lighter and more scattered snow showers through the day with snow levels around 5000-5500 ft. Then a final system Saturday night brings more snow and colder air. Snow levels dropping below 4000 ft. Snow showers could linger into Sunday morning before we clear through the day. Highs in the 30s at lake level and 20s in the upper elevations. Winds dropping to 35+ mph over the ridges Saturday and lighter into Sunday. We could see a final 2-4 inches at lake level, and 3-9 inches on the mountains. - Sunday afternoon through Tuesday we should see drier weather with highs in the 30s and lows in the teens. - The next storm looks like it splits next week with a low spinning up off the West Coast, and then moving into Southern CA possibly missing us. We will be watching the track all week. - Another storm for next weekend could bring heavy rain and snow to Northern CA, but how close that precipitation pushes to the Tahoe Basin is still up in the air.
