Storm system headed toward Lake Tahoe

The National Weather Service says the low pressure system moving toward Northern California and Western Nevada will bring cooler temperatures, increasing ridge winds and a chance for rain and snow showers starting Friday night and continuing into Saturday above 7,000 feet.

Snow levels will start about 8,000 feet and drop to between 5,500 and 6,500 feet by early Saturday. Light snow showers are expected Saturday morning in areas south of Lake Tahoe and into Mono County with mainly rain showers elsewhere.

The storm is not expected to have a significant impact on travel.
