Hard Freeze Hits Lake Tahoe. Incline Village Real Estate Weather
Oct. 27, 2011
A burst of cold arctic air that brought overnight lows in the teens around Tahoe, and 10 degrees in Truckee, should give way this weekend to more seasonable fall temperatures.
A weak ridge of high pressure building over the region will mean a warming trend over the weekend, with high temperatures back to around normal by Sunday, perhaps a few degrees above normal.
But the change will be shortlived. Another low pressure system is expected to push past the Tahoe region Monday and Tuesday, bringing a return to cooler day time highs and, in its wake, perhaps some frigid lows. This system, however, is looking like it will stay mostly to our north, so its precipitation potential is slight.
Further out, it is beginning to look like we could begin to see a significant change in our weather by the middle of next week. The high pressure is forecast to move further west into the Pacific, opening the door for storms to reach us from the Gulf of Alaska. If all goes well, this could signal the beginning of the winter snow season.

Tahoe Outdoors: Tahoe Rim Trail group seeks volunteers
The Tahoe Rim Trail Association is seeking volunteers on two major trail-building projects: Rim to Reno and Daggett Summit. No experience is necessary. The projects will take place every Thursday and Saturday in October. The group asks that you register in advance so they have enough crew leaders, tools, safety gear, etc. Volunteers should bring their own lunch & water, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, boots, & work gloves, and bring sunscreen, bug spray, water & a backpack. The Tahoe Rim Trail Associationwill provide hard hats, trail building tools and expert crew leaders.
