If the 4th of July weekend is any indication, Tahoe is under pressure. As coronavirus cases grow nearly everywhere, people naturally look to the mountains, fresh air, and clear water of Tahoe as a respite. Now residents and visitors alike are struggling to adjust to the confusion around re-opening, and visitation that is normally our lifeblood is suddenly a health risk.
Inversion brings unusual heavy fog to South Lake Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Sat, 02/01/2020 - 2:51pm
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Fog is normally associated with San Francisco and the coastal cities of California, not with Lake Tahoe.
On Friday and Saturday, a strong inversion was in place at around the 7,000-7,500 foot level, compressing the molecules that normally evaporate off of the lake and keeping them trapped closer to the ground and the lake.
Inversions exist on a fairly common schedule, but the experience the past two days was different for a couple of reasons:

In Lake Tahoe to enjoy the snow? Be aware of where you park and play!
Submitted by paula on Thu, 12/27/2018 - 2:44pm
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The snow has fallen and the kids are out of school so it's time for many to hit the Sierra. Skiers and boarders have the slopes but where do sledders and those just wanting to play go?
Many stop on the highway and pull onto the shoulder (well, sort of) and head to the patch of snow. This behavior is causing problems for law enforcement, other drivers and is an accident waiting to happen.

Foggy start to the day in Lake Tahoe; Forecast shows sunny and warming
Submitted by paula on Wed, 12/13/2017 - 11:58am
The fog was socked in around Lake Tahoe Wednesday morning, but its starting to recede and retreat and should be all clear by noon.
It isn't often when the temperature of the lake is warmer than the air, but that is what happens when fog is created. The cold air mass condensates into clouds and sits low over the lake and South Lake Tahoe. The ski resorts were sitting above the fog and had a very sunny morning.

Warming temps for South Lake Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Mon, 09/25/2017 - 7:34am
Clear skies and light winds are expected through the coming week as a ridge of high pressure along the west coast gradually strengthens, leading a slow warming trend.
Aside from some freezing fog near Truckee and the Sierra Valley, benign conditions remain on tap for the near future as that high pressures continues to build. According to some modules, there is the potential for cooler and wetter weather toward the end of the first week of October, but in the meantime its dry with above normal temperatures by the weekend.

Low inversion layer keeping smoke from prescribed burns near ground
Submitted by paula on Sat, 12/05/2015 - 11:14am
Smoke from local prescribed burns can be seen, and smelled, through much of South Lake Tahoe today. A cool night and low inversion layer have trapped the smoke closer to the ground than normal.
What most residents are experiencing is coming from a 69-acre prescribed burn area near Trout Creek that was ignited Friday. The South Lake Tahoe Fire Department said there are no vegetative fires in the basin.
Smoke was especially heavy Friday night and looked much like fog while navigating many streets in the area.
Lake Tahoe not alone in dryness; San Francisco has first rainless January ever
Submitted by paula on Sun, 02/01/2015 - 7:52pm
The month ended with a sun-drenched bang Saturday, an apropos ending for what was the driest January on record in San Francisco.
Not one drop of measurable rain fell on city streets in January, the first time that’s happened in recorded weather history, which dates back to the Gold Rush.
Other Bay Area cities, including San Jose, saw at most two one-hundredths of an inch during the same time, which was probably just real heavy fog with a drizzle rather than real rain, said Jan Null, former lead meteorologist for the National Weather Service and a meteorology consultant.
