Spring weather to succumb to a day of winter

Snow is expected to arrive in the Lake Tahoe Basin after 11 Tuesday night. But only an inch is supposed to collect.

A 30 percent chance of the white stuff is in the forecast for Wednesday, with the high being 35 degrees.

Sun will return in full force by Friday, when the high should be 42, and increasing to 53 on Saturday.

Officials with El Dorado County vector control were near the houses that border the Upper Truckee Marsh area by San Francisco Avenue on April 3 checking on conditions. They collected water with small larvae samples.

The duo said to expect mosquito season to arrive soon and not last long because there isn’t near the amount of standing water that the basin experienced a year ago.

The warm weather has been drying things up quickly.
