Snow will stick in Tahoe this weekend. Latest weather forecast shows freezing temps
Winter is technically more than a month away, and yet Northern California is gearing up for snow, wind gusts and below-freezing temperatures this weekend.
A weak system of westerly winds Saturday night, National Weather Service wrote on its Twitter page, will possibly bring light snow Saturday and Sunday “at all elevations.” The snowy weather mixed with below normal temperatures will make the area feel like it’s January.
About an inch of snow is forecast to fall Saturday in both South Lake Tahoe and Reno. And because temperatures will be so low, the snow will stick, said meteorologist Dawn Johnson with the National Weather Service.
South Lake Tahoe temperatures, according to the National Weather Service, will dance between the low 20s to low 40s for the next several days.
A word of advice from meteorologists: Bundle up.
Motorists should be aware of icy roads. Other than that, not enough snow will fall to prompt closures or delays said meteorologist Tyler Salas with the weather service.
