Cold front could bring snow to Tahoe’s peaks

Sunday is not the day to plan to be outside, at least in Lake Tahoe, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.

That “s” word (snow) is even in the forecast at elevations above 9,500.

For the rest of the basin it could be rain and thunderstorms.

Temperatures are expected to be 10 to 15 degrees cooler than normal. The high on Sunday is expected to be 61 degrees, with it returning to 74 by Tuesday.

Strong winds are expected as the cold front moves in. This will bring 2 to 4 foot waves on the lake.
