A weather system is forecasted to hit Tahoe on Sunday and last through Monday. The storm could produce snow totals of 6-12″ of snow with up to 15 inches West of the lake along the crest. NOAA, Reno, is saying that this will be the first “winter-like” system of the fall. The system will bring with it 100mph ridgetop winds and snow levels as low as 5,000 feet.
“Did you like the dusting of snow in the mountains this morning? Well good news, our first winter storm of the season is on its way! Winds will be gusting around 50 mph in valleys and 100 mph along mountain tops ahead of a strong cold front Sunday.Be sure to secure any loose outdoor items. Rain and snow showers will move into the region Sunday into Monday with accumulating snow likely in the Sierra. Snow levels will start between 7500-9000 feet on Sunday, falling to around 5000 feet by Monday. Much colder temps are on tap for next week with high temperatures only in the 40s for many western Nevada valleys.” – NOAA Reno, NV
