Record high temperatures were set this weekend and the same may happen next weekend.

“We are going to have a high pressure over the area. There will be clear skies, sunny skies and just a lot of sunshine over the area,” Brian O’Hara, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Reno told Lake Tahoe News.

On June 13, South Lake Tahoe hit a record high of 85. The old record from 1974 was 82 degrees. The high of 84 on June 14 broke the 1975 record of 82 degrees.

O’Hara said more of the same is in store for next weekend. The best date for another record setting high is June 21. The current record of 85 degrees was set in 1988. The forecast high is for 87 degrees.
