It’s looking increasingly likely water levels in Lake Tahoe will climb above the natural rim at some point in the coming year.
That’s according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service streamflow forecast published Monday.
How high above the rim the water level will rise, however, remains a question because there are still too many variables to play out between now and the end of the April-through-July period covered by the forecast.
