SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - It took three weeks but temperatures at Lake Tahoe will finally be June-like! High pressure will once again exert its influence across the West, bringing a drying and warming trend to the region. Warming temperatures will be in store as a return to 80-degree heat returns in the week ahead.
