Memorial Day weekend could begin with rain, light snow and end with warm sunshine

A low pressure system headed for Lake Tahoe and the Sierra on Friday may turn the early part of Memorial Day weekend into a carbon copy of last year's holiday with some rain and light snow. It would be par for the course given this strange weather year at the lake. The good news though is the unseasonably cool temperatures associated with the weather system should blow out of the area by Saturday night, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.
The wettest part of the storm system should move into the region on Friday morning, with the possibility of light accumulation of snow between 5,500 and 7,000 feet, the weather service reports. As the day continues with some sunshine expected, the chance for accumulation will lesson, with mostly rain showers in the forecast through Saturday morning.
Warmer weather will return for Sunday and Memorial Day. So, as they say in Tahoe, you take the good with the bad, shake it up, change it up, fire up the barbecue anyway, pay Mother Nature her respect and in the end, regardless, itsallgood.
