The National Weather Service in Reno has issued a winter weather advisory for the Lake Tahoe Basin from 3-11am Sunday.

Snow is expected to begin late tonight and continue through Sunday morning, then taper to showers through the afternoon.

Forecasters are calling for 1 to 3 inches below 7,000 feet and 2 to 4 inches about 7,000 feet. There could be 6 inches near the Sierra crest.

Roads are expected to be slick with the oil having accumulated on them.

Amgen Tour de California officials are likely to make a decision Saturday night as to whether the race route will be altered. It is supposed to start at 10:30am Sunday near the state line, with cyclists doing 1.5 laps around Lake Tahoe before ending at Northstar-at-Tahoe. Stage two leaves from Squaw Valley on Monday.
