Another storm reported to arrive this Weekend
TAHOE BASIN, Calif./Nev. — A mixture of rain and snow is expected Wednesday and Thursday, with a possible break on Friday before another storm is set to move in over the weekend. A winter storm watch will go into effect from Friday at 4 p.m., with the possibility of strong winds. Here’s what to expect in the days ahead.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday’s storm is expected to bring rain and snow at lake level, with the chance of snow above 6800 feet. Temperatures are expected to drop Saturday evening, with snow accumulation after 10 pm through Monday evening.
OpenSnow forecaster Bryan Allegretto said “Based on this morning’s model run average for precipitation and snow levels, we could see 6-11 inches of snow at the base by Monday night, mostly falling on Monday. We should see a big jump above 7000 ft. if we stay mostly all snow down to 7k’, with 22-28 inches of snow possible near mid-mountain, and 28-35 inches up top over the 3-day period.”
