SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - If you are waiting for more seasonal temperatures you'll have to wait until next week's forecast. There is a glimmer of what will look like on Monday when the sun should shine before the next storm. A Winter Weather Advisory returns to the Lake Tahoe Basin, this one starts May 20 at 8:00 p.m. until May 21 at 10:00 a.m.
A series of storms will keep high temperatures well below average along with periods of breezy winds, rain, and mountain snow through next week. Travel impacts from snow are expected in the Sierra Monday night through Tuesday morning. Cool showery weather will continue through at least Memorial Day, but snow levels are forecast to be above 7000-8000 feet after Tuesday.
The National Weather Service in Reno is giving us hope: This should be the last snow advisory for the 2019 winter that doesn`t want to quit.
