SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The last remains of a wet weather system have left the Lake Tahoe Basin, with Monday letting the area dry out with highs into the 50s, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Reno.

There is still a consistent signal for a windier and wetter pattern to emerge around and after Veterans Day, so certainty worth keeping in mind if you have travel or outdoor plans around the middle of the month.
