Another change in the skies over Lake Tahoe is in the forecast this week, the National Weather Service in Reno reports Sunday.
After a weekend of sunny blue skies and warm weather a cold front will move into the area late Monday giving way to cooler temperatures and a chance of snow in the Sierra on Tuesday. Later in the week, a colder and wetter system will move through the Lake Tahoe region, with possible periods of heavy snow, according to the weather service.
The first system to arrive Monday night into Tuesday morning is expected to lower temperatures between 15 to 25 degrees. High temperatures in the Sierra and Lake Tahoe regions will be around 40 on Tuesday and will struggle to reach the lower 50s across Western Nevada. The system may bring a brief period of showers, with snow levels dropping to around 5,000 feet. The system won't have an abundance of moisture with it, according to the weather service.
