Another roller coaster weather week ahead for South Lake Tahoe

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Breezy westerly winds into Monday as the next low-pressure system arrives. Expect widespread gusty winds Monday (wind advisory Monday 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) which could lead to travel and recreation impacts as well as increased fire danger, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Reno. Additional storms are possible into the second week of May as the active weather pattern persists.

Our continuous roller coaster spring continues mid-week through next weekend as a progressive upper-level wave train rattles onward. After a windy Monday, temperatures will cool behind a passing cold front. Lows Tuesday morning will be pretty chilly, with lower 30s across the lower valleys of western Nevada and 20s in Sierra valleys.

A warming and drying trend will ensue Tuesday into Thursday. High temperatures will jump up about 10-15 degrees above normal Wednesday and

Thursday, which means the mid-60s to lower-70s for Sierra valleys and
the mid-70s to mid-80s for the lower elevations.
