Seasonable temperatures and dry conditions will prevail this weekend, but change is in the air. A series of cold fronts will produce gusty winds on Monday and Wednesday followed by below average temperatures for much of next week and chances for isolated showers. Light snow is possible in higher elevations, while low temperatures may dip to near freezing in some lower valleys. In South Lake Tahoe, Wednesday morning lows are expected to be below freezing - are you ready?
