SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Temperatures plummet to start the week with South Lake Tahoe hitting 27 degrees during the day. The good news, yes, there is good news, in one week we will see the high 50s and into the 60s!
But first, to get through some windy and snowy weather as a system passed through the Sierra through Monday. That system passes through, and starting Wednesday through the weekend, at least, temperatures will continue to get warmer each day. Hope we aren't jinxing anything by saying this, but Easter Sunday is expected to be 59 and sunny. A glimpse into that week shows some 60s as a ridge builds over the western US through the first half
of next week. Don't know exactly how awesome it will be this far out, but it could make the slight chance of a little system this week more survivable.
