NOAA is forecasting a foot of snow from the first major snow event of the season to impact Tahoe. They are predicting that snow levels will start at 7,000-feet on Friday before dropping to 4,500-feet on Saturday.
IT STILL APPEARS THAT A FOOT OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE
IN THE HIGH ELEVATIONS OF THE SIERRA WITH SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW
DOWN TO 5000 POSSIBLE. SNOW LEVELS LOOK TO START AROUND 7000-7500
FEET AS ALMOST ALL THE PRECIP NOW APPEARS TO BE ALONG OR JUST
BEHIND THE FRONT IN THE COLDER AIR. THEY THEN LOOK TO FALL TO 4500
FEET SATURDAY MORNING. AS FOR SPILLOVER INTO WESTERN NEVADA, THE
NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT ISN`T THE MOST FAVORABLE, BUT
A BRIEF PERIOD IS LIKELY. – NOAA
