Cooler weekend with wind warnings, but watch for 80s next week!

Strong, gusty winds return to Lake Tahoe and Northern Nevada, with a Lake Wind Advisory in effect most of the day Saturday from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Dry grass and gusty winds will create dangerous conditions for wildfire should a spark set them off....use care when outdoors as the fuels are ready.

Those heading out on Lake Tahoe and other area lakes need to be aware of hazardous boating conditions starting Friday, then going through Saturday. Remember to wear your personal flotation device at all times.

Temperatures will drop over the weekend as a cold front moves in with the wind. Lake Tahoe temps in the 70s on Friday and Monday, but highs only in the 60s over the weekend. Watch for a couple of 80-degree days next week!
