The Lake Tahoe basin can expect seasonably warm weather through midweek with changes ahead that may bring snow down to lake level and the valley floors before the weekend, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.
A cold front is forecast to bring gusty winds Thursday with showers spreading into the Sierra, Lake Tahoe Basin and western Nevada. Showers and much colder conditions will then spread over all the area Thursday night through Saturday with snow levels falling to all valley floors.
Temperatures will run 10 to 15 degrees above normal through Wednesday before falling to 10 to 15 degrees below normal by Friday. Confidence is very high with this pattern change, the weather service states. The one uncertainty remains with snowfall/precipitation amounts as confidence in the exact track of the system is still low.
