Lake Tahoe
As a dedicated Lake Tahoe real estate agent, I want to ensure that all residents and visitors are well-prepared for the significant winter storm forecasted for this weekend. Staying informed and taking necessary precautions are crucial for your safety during this period.
Upcoming Storm Details
Starting Friday, January 31, 2025, a series of strong atmospheric river events will impact the Sierra Nevada region, including Lake Tahoe. Initially, expect heavy rain at lower elevations, transitioning to substantial snowfall at higher elevations as the weekend progresses. The National Weather Service has issued several advisories:
Winter Weather Advisory: From 4 a.m. January 31 to 10 p.m. February 1, above 7,000 feet, anticipate wet snow with accumulations of 6 to 12 inches, and up to 20 inches above 8,000 feet. Winds could gust as high as 90 mph.
Lake Wind Advisory: From 12 p.m. January 31 to 7 p.m. February 1, expect southwest winds of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph, leading to waves of 2 to 3 feet on the lake.
Winter Storm Watch: From 4 a.m. February 2 to 10 p.m. February 3, above 7,000 feet, heavy wet snow is expected, with accumulations of 1 to 2 feet and winds gusting up to 90 mph.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the National Weather Service's alerts for the Greater Lake Tahoe Area.
