Buenos días, my friends,

Cup'O'Joe in hand and #StokeLevelSolid at 10.1, sunrise, ready to embrace this tenacious Tuesday on the lake. Winds are currently from the SSE (149º) and are cruising lightly at 2 kts, with air temperatures sitting comfortably at 43º. Expect a wind shift around 11 a.m. to NNE (13º), at around 2–3 kts.

Looking forward over the next 3–7 days:

Temperatures: Mother Nature and Üller have set up a slight cooling trend. Daytime highs will range from the low 80ºs today, through midweek, while overnight lows hover comfortably around the upper 40ºs.

Wind Conditions: Neptune's keeping the breezes chill, predominantly from the WNW to SW, averaging around 5–10 kts with occasional playful gusts reaching near 15 kts during storm cells. Mariners, stay alert and keep a lookout for approaching squalls.

Rain and Thunderstorm Outlook: Moderate chances (>30%) of afternoon showers and thunderstorms today, increasing significantly on Wednesday. Rain totals could tickle up to 0.25", mainly affecting elevations above 6,500 ft. Remember, amigos, Sierra weather can turn on a dime—stay sharp!

Snow Levels: Üller's still kickin' it in summer mode—no snow forecasted at the moment.

Lake Wind and Weather Advisories: No current advisories, but stay salty and vigilant with Wednesday's increasing thunderstorm potential.
