Next storm due Tuesday night

MONDAY FEB. 28…..5:22 AM…

Tahoe is in for a week of unsettled weather ahead.

Most of the Basin should see cloud cover and high winds today as a storm system skirts past us to the north. But we’ll see little if any precipitation from this one south of Interstate 80.

The next storm will be more significant. A low pressure system building in the Gulf of Alaska will sag south on Tuesday and bring rain and snow to the Tahoe region. Snow levels will be high at first, perhaps above 6000 feet, before dropping as the front moves through on Wednesday. The heaviest snow will probably be during the day on Wednesday. This storm has the potential to dump more than a foot of new snow above 7000 feet.

Snow showers could linger into Thursday but skies should clear by Friday ahead of another storm due next weekend. The early forecast on that one is for very warm and wet conditions. We could see snow levels rising above 7000 feet depending on how the warm Pacific moisture mixes with the cold polar jet from the north.

Stay tuned for details as these storms approach.

Temperature forecasts:

Tahoe City:

Monday 36
Tuesday 43
Wednesday 41

At 7000 feet:

Monday 28
Tuesday 29
Wednesday 31

\Regional radar with rain/snow mix:
