South Lake Tahoe forecast this week: Sunny and mild with no rain or snow

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Strong high pressure will continue to keep the storm track diverted to our north with no precipitation chances through next
weekend, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Reno. Temperatures will run well above average for this time of year, with record highs possible Monday. Inversions and poor mixing will produce some degradation of air quality through the upcoming week.

The persistent high-pressure ridge will keep similar day-to-day weather through the upcoming week: Dry conditions with occasional passing cirrus clouds, light winds, valley inversions with areas of haze, daytime temperatures well above average (highs mainly in the 55-65 degree range), and typical cool fall nights.

While the longer range guidance still brings the potential for a more active weather pattern, the first system in the December 6-7 time frame appears to be the quick hitter variety, with a modest tap of moisture and period of gusty winds, followed by additional cooling. Beyond that first system, the door may be opened for more storm systems through mid-December, but plenty of factors such as intensity (will they split?), warm or cold systems, duration of precip (shadowed or spillover?) and wind speeds remain to be
determined, said NWS Reno in their daily report.
