Lake Tahoe Basin will see lots of sunshine and rising temperatures this week
Submitted by paula on Sun, 04/23/2023 - 5:58pm
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Most residents of the Lake Tahoe Basin can't wait to start their spring chores around the yard, and the forecast shows they can soon get started (who knew bagging pine needles could be exciting?). The snow will melt quickly this week as a robust ridge of high pressure builds over the west. This pushes high temperatures into the 80s for lower valleys and mid-60s to around 70 for mountain valleys from Thursday through the end of April, if not the first day or two of May.
This will be a significant test of the snowpack and associated snowmelt.
