Storm in Lake Tahoe breaking up

It’s going to be over this morning. The winter storm warning, that is, not the snow falling from the sky.

With the National Weather Service in Reno lifting the warning as of 9am, it means the brunt of the storm has passed.

Still, though, meteorologists are saying there is an 80 percent chance of snow Saturday, tapering off to 30 percent tonight. A 20 percent chance of the white stuff covering the Lake Tahoe Basin remains through Monday. Tuesday is when that yellow ball is likely to appear again in the sky.

Roads throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin are likely to come with restrictions as crews work to clear them. Check the state icons on the home page of Lake Tahoe News to know road conditions.
