There’s no snow in the forecast today. However, it should be one of those classic sunny days at Lake Tahoe ski resorts with temperatures high enough to warrant wearing lighter clothing than usual.
Kirkwood Mountain Resort was the only Tahoe-area ski resort to get any measurable snow on Monday with 1-2 inches.
There is a possibility of snow later this week, according to The Weather Channel, which is forecasting a 30-percent chance of snow Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. There is a zero-percent chance of snow on Friday.
The National Weather Service is forecasting highs between 40-47 degrees today and Wednesday, but a change takes place Thursday with daytime highs only reaching the mid 20s, while the lows range between 3-13 degrees.
