Feeling more like fall in the week ahead at Lake Tahoe

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Hope you enjoyed the final warm day before some unsettled weather arrives for much of the upcoming week. Gusty winds, much cooler temperatures, and chances for showers are expected through midweek (as well as a slight chance of upper-level snow around Lake Tahoe). A brief, slow warming trend in the latter half of the week will allow for near-normal
temperatures next weekend but with another chance for precipitation, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) Reno.

With the weather pattern changes, wind gusts up to 70 mph are possible over the Sierra Crest for much of Monday, then again Tuesday with the arrival of the next thought.
