Buenos días, my friends,

Cup'O'Joe in hand, #StokeLevelSolid at 8.32, on a #ScholasticSaturday. Sunrise: Cold, 37º at South Lake, 36º at TRK, 39º here at the #HippieHaus. Winds early calm: 225º (SSW) ~1 kt at CR, mid-lake buoy roughly 280º (W) ~1 kt.

Today:

• Sunny and clear; warming day ahead.

• High near 75ºF.

• Winds: calm this morning, becoming north-northwest ~5 mph in the afternoon.

Looking forward to the next 3–7 days

Temperatures: Anticipate a warming trend. Daytime highs rising from mid-70s today and Sunday into the upper 70ºs / low 80ºs early next week. Overnight lows steady in the low 40ºs, maybe creeping toward mid-40ºs.

Wind Conditions: Prevailing winds are light. Calm in morning hours; afternoon breezes of 5 mph from northwest or southwest, depending on the day. No strong gusty events forecast through the weekend.

Rain & Thunderstorm Outlook: There's a low chance (~15-25%) of showers or thunderstorms returning Sunday, especially in northeastern CA / far northwest NV. Otherwise, dry conditions are expected through much of next week.

Snow Levels: N/A snow well above current terrain; no impacts expected at lake or valley elevations.

Lake Wind & Weather Advisories: No advisories are in effect. Calm lake surface, good boating forecast.

Weather Ahead | Temperatures | Winds | Lake Wind Advisories

Period High / Low Winds & Conditions Lake Notes

Mon–Tue ~ 78-81ºF / ~44-47ºF | Light SW or variable; warming pattern | Pleasant lake conditions

Watches / Warnings / Pressure Trends

• Watches & Warnings: None.

• Pressure Trends: The upper low that had anchored cooler, unsettled weather is retreating east. A shortwave ridge is building, bringing warming and drying.

Changes from Yesterday

• Temperatures are warmer; high of around 75º today, compared to cooler days prior.

• Reduced chance of storms (formerly more widespread, now more isolated and likely on Sunday).

• Conditions clearer: sun returns, smoke less dominant.

• Lake metrics: calm; no major shift in water or level data available from recent forecasts.

Summary: Today's the kind of lake day we've been waiting for: bright, warm, calm. Mornings stay crisp, afternoons comfortable. Sunday might toss a stray storm your way if moisture holds in NE corridors—but here at Tahoe, expect mostly blue. Into early next week, the heat builds gently.
