Strong warming trend coming to South Lake Tahoe/Reno/Carson Valley area

After a short cooling trend, look for that to reverse itself this week in South Lake Tahoe as a strong warming trend comes to the Sierra and Reno/Carson City area. Reno should see record breaking temperatures while the South Shore will see them above average.

The records on file:

The current forecast is for Reno to reach 97° Friday and Saturday. This would break the all-time daily temperature records for the 11th and 12th of September of 96 and 95 respectively. The current record for the 11th was reached in 2009 and the current record for the 12th was reached 1983. Temperature records for the Reno Tahoe Airport go back to 1888.
