South Lake Tahoe, CA – A winter storm warning remains in effect across the Greater Lake Tahoe area and California's Mono County early Saturday, November 14, as lingering snowfall threatens to create slippery roads for morning travelers. The warning covers communities on both sides of the California Nevada border and remains active until 10 a.m. PST.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, Nevada, the winter storm warning was reaffirmed at 1:35 a.m. Saturday, with up to one additional inch of snow possible before conditions improve. Forecasters expect lingering snow showers to taper off around or before sunrise.
Lake Tahoe and Mono County Communities Affected The warning includes Truckee and Tahoe City in Placer and Nevada counties, South Lake Tahoe in El Dorado County, and Markleeville in Alpine County. On the Nevada side, Incline Village, Stateline and Glenbrook are also included.
Farther south, the warning extends into Mono County, affecting Mammoth Lakes, Lee Vining, Bridgeport and Coleville.
Although additional snowfall amounts are relatively light, the National Weather Service warns that slippery road conditions remain possible. Drivers traveling through mountain communities should remain cautious, particularly on roads where snow or ice may still be present.
What Drivers Should Know Saturday Morning The greatest concern during the remaining warning period is hazardous travel rather than significant new snow accumulation.
Travelers should allow additional time, reduce speeds when conditions warrant and avoid sudden braking on potentially icy surfaces.
The National Weather Service recommends keeping an emergency flashlight, extra food and water inside vehicles in case travelers become stranded.
Motorists can check current highway conditions by calling 511 before departure. California travelers can also consult Caltrans, while Nevada motorists can check Nevada 511 for updated roadway information.
The winter storm warning is scheduled to expire at 10 a.m. PST Saturday, with lingering snowfall expected to diminish earlier in the morning. Travelers should continue monitoring updated forecasts and road conditions before heading into the Sierra Nevada.
