It looks like a sunny, fine week ahead, with warmer weather and no precipitation expected for a while. Highs today should warm into the 70s, although some upper 60s are possible near the shoreline of Lake Tahoe.

Winds should be light today, with a lake breeze around 10 mph or so.

Lows tonight under clear skies will drop into the mid 30s to mid 40s.



If you are planning on doing some hiking this week, it looks warm even at higher elevations, with 60s during the daytime hours and lows dropping into the upper 40s to lower 50s.
