SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - One storm left and another is on the way, but it will be much smaller and is packing less of a punch. The National Weather Service (NWS) has put a Winter Weather Watch in place from Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. to Monday morning at 4:00 a.m. It calls for the possibility of heavy snow, especially above 7000 feet. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 8 inches, except 8 to 18 inches above 7000 feet possible. Some localized areas could see amounts up to 2 feet along the Sierra Crest. Winds could gust as high as 80 mph over the ridges. It's a quick moving front and will make way for high pressure to sit off the coast, bringing dry and sunny skies to Lake Tahoe.
