Weather Service: Cooler temperatures, snow showers unlikely for Carson City, Lake Tahoe
A cold front will continue to push through the region late Saturday night into Monday but it looks like it will miss Lake Tahoe and Carson City with only a slight chance of rain and snow showers with the brunt of the system heading further into central and southern Nevada and the California Eastern Sierra to the south, according to the National Weather Service.
Breezy north winds will accompany the front with some areas of blowing dust possible downwind of dry lake beds and desert sinks. Colder temperatures are expected Sunday and Monday with highs in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Breezy northeast winds will create some choppy and potentially hazardous boating conditions on area lakes.
Snow showers are still expected mainly for Alpine and Mono counties in California into Mineral County in Nevada Sunday and Monday, where mainly 1-3 inches of snowfall is possible with up to 6 inches along the crest. Generally less than 1 inch of snowfall is expected across Mineral County, with little or no snowfall expected elsewhere across western Nevada and the Tahoe Basin.
For Carson City, there's a slight chance of rain and snow showers between 8pm and 11pm, then a slight chance of snow showers after 11pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 29. Northeast wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20 percent. On Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 42. Northeast wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.
In central Nevada there's a Winter Weather Advisory for White Pine County and Northeastern Nye County in Nevada, including Great Basin National Park.
