A winter storm warning has been issued for the greater Lake Tahoe area from Friday at 4pm through Saturday at 10am.

The National Weather Service in Reno is calling for 6-10 inches of snow at lake level, with 1-3 feet above 8,000 feet, and a couple inches down to 4,000 feet.

It will be a blustery storm that blows through, which will likely create whiteout conditions. Expect sustained gusts between 45 and 65 mph, and the ridges hitting 100-plus mph.
