SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Enjoy your last day of sunshine for a while as a strong, wet and cold weather system heads to California and Lake Tahoe. The 10-day forecast has rain and snow in South Lake Tahoe each day. Have weekend outdoor plans? You may want to have a backup plan in place.

The USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) will continue a project to eradicate, control, and contain known infestations of invasive plants in the Lake Tahoe Basin using chemical treatment.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Starting Wednesday, May 1, the California Tahoe Conservancy will be initiating their seasonal dog closure at the Upper Truckee Marsh in South Lake Tahoe. This annual closure will last through July 31.

The SR89/Fanny Bridge Community Revitalization Project on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe has not progressed as expected and completion will not happen in 2019 though lots of work is scheduled.

Weather, utilities and construction scheduling have put it well behind the original 2018 planned completion and now construction work will be getting off to a late start in 2019 because of high water levels at the lake and Truckee River after an above average winter of snow and rain. Crews are expecting to start around mid-June.

Building trails, promoting climate change awareness, organizing beach cleanups, and preserving cultural resources are some of the ways this year’s award winners show their dedication to Lake Tahoe.

With warming temperatures and melting snow, Douglas County is reminding residents of the potential for some minor spring flooding in the months to come.
