SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – As the last remnants of the weekend storm heads out of the Lake Tahoe Basin, expect some breezes Monday and a quiet and dry Tuesday. There is an upper-level low moving across California and Nevada on Wednesday with a chance of a few inches of snow above 7000 and a rain/snow mix at lake-level.
High pressure will build off the west coast into the weekend, and it is expected to head into California and Nevada. This will keep things dry and it will be warming up – into the 50s on Saturday and Sunday for Lake Tahoe, and mid-60s in the Carson Valley.
