Scattered showers are expected to develop after 11 p.m. Monday for Carson City, Carson Valley and Dayton areas with the nighttime lows dipping to near 40 with highs Tuesday in the mid 60s and a 40 percent chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms.
The weather service advises that there is a possibility of frost in the colder valleys of Eastern California, with more widespread chances of frost on Tuesday night, including some of the outlying, colder western Nevada valleys.
There's a lake wind advisory in effect now through 8 p.m. Monday for Lake Tahoe. Southwest winds 15 to 20 mph and gusts to 35 mph could produce 2 to 3 foot waves on the lake by afternoon making for choppy conditions on the water, according to the weather service.
Precipitation at Tahoe should develop after 11 Monday night, with a night time low of 40, daytime highs Tuesday in the low 60s and night time lows in the high 30s. A chance for snow is possible in the higher elevations of the Sierra, above 9000 feet, according to the weather service.
