Red Flag Warning in place for Lake Tahoe Basin

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for the Lake Tahoe Basin as well as other parts of Northern California.

High pressure has settled in over Nevada and will remain through the weekend. Temperatures will be well above noromal with moisture slowly working its way North into the Sierra and Western Nevada.

Isolated thundershowers are expected to become more numerous over the weekend. The storms will begin dry, becoming a hybrid of wet and dry by Sunday, then primarily wet by early next week.

The Red Flag Warning and Fire Weather Watch remain in effect until 9 p.m. Saturday for thunderstorms and strong outflow winds.
