SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - If you were looking for a summery start to the week, you'll have to go somewhere beside Lake Tahoe. A cold front will bring gusty winds and a temperature drop - something local residents have seen perhaps too much of over the last seven months.
At least no snow is in the forecast, but there will be sub-freezing temperatures before summer officially starts on Wednesday. By midweek onward more typical late-day winds return along with a rebound to milder temperatures.
Dry and sunny forecast, and it looks like the "warm" part will come at the end of the week.

Monday - Sunny, with a high near 56. Breezy, with a southwest wind of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph.
